The drive shaft can vibrate due to damage or if the balancing weights fall off. If the weights are lost, you may take the shaft to a shop that has the equipment and have the shaft balanced again for typically under $50.
there is no drive shaft it's front wheel drive
No proper man wants to be without his shaft
of corse you can
where is the driveshaft on a 2005 Ford Ranger
Chock the wheels to be sure vehicle will not roll. Mark the differential and drive shaft before removing drive shaft. Remove 4 bolts from differential-end of drive shaft. Place a pan under the transmission-end of drive shaft and have clean rags handy. Push the drive shaft slightly toward the front of the vehicle while pulling downward on the drive shaft and lower it to the ground. Pull the drive shaft toward the rear of the vehicle until the front of the drive shaft pulls out of the transmission. Place the drive shaft on the ground and put rags in the transmission to prevent oil leakage and keep dust/dirt out. Assemply is reverse of removal with special attention to aligning marks on the drive shaft to the mark on the differential.
I have a 1990 e150 and it has 2.
27mm
on the output shaft of the transmission, close to where the drive shaft enters
Yes.
if it has 4 wheel drive ,yes.Brought many a ford 4x4 home on front wheels of 4x4 when i damaged the rear drive shaft mudding.
The drive shaft does not leak. It is either the pinion seal or the trans. seal. Either one, the drive shaft has to be removed. The rear seal should be done at a garage, but you could do the front.
It is not safe to drive a Ford Expedition with a broken lower trailing bar because it can snap the drive-shaft mount.
