Sounds like axle is no square with frame putting it in a bind.
If your vehicle is All wheel drive you don't unless you drop the front drive shaft, but don't my 1999 is AWD it has saved me numerous times.
It does not have a drive shaft as such. It has a transaxle which which converts the power of the engine to the wheels. The transaxle also serves as the transmission.
The diagnostic code PO735 on a Mercury Mountaineer indicates that the 5th gear has an incorrect gear ratio. This can be the result of a broken servo shaft.
I have mercury mountaineer 4x4 03 had grinding noise easy fix remove the shaft which connects the transmission to the rear end
You can take the front drive shaft out and it will run on the rear wheels making it 2 wheel drive.but i have done this and the truck does not get any better gas mileage and it handles like crap in the winter without the all while drive running. I had recently put the front shaft back in and the truck runs much better.also for the future you should have the same tires front and back with the all wheel drive its less friction on the axel's and will last much longer.
Perhaps something in your front differential is not right and it is spinning your front drive shaft, instead of vice versa.
there is no drive shaft it's front wheel drive
The front axle shaft will be cv style, so zero there.The front drive shaft would have three.The rear drive shaft would have two if it is a one piece shaft, three if a two piece shaft.The front axle shaft will be cv style, so zero there.The front drive shaft would have three.The rear drive shaft would have two if it is a one piece shaft, three if a two piece shaft.
Yes
It depends if it is a 4 wheel drive truck. A rear driveshaft is used to drive the rear axle. A front driveshaft is used to drive the front axle on a 4X4.
front drive shaft, how do you get the yoke out of the transfore case to replace the ceal?
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.
