©All limited slip and Traction-Lok axles use ESW-M2C-104-A lubricant (C6AZ-19580-C).

All conventional axles use ESW-M2C-105-A lubricant (C6AZ-19580-B).

©Approximate refill capacity-Actual lubricant capacities are determined
by
filling
to
bottom
of
filler hole.

©To check these axles, the plug should be backed
out
slowly.
If
seepage occurs around the threads, the plug should
be
turned back
in

immediately to avoid any drainage. This indicates that the specified amount

DRIVE SHAFT TESTS

DRIVE LINE BALANCE CHECK

If detailed parts
of the
drive shaft

are replaced
and
shaft vibration
is en-

countered after installation, disconnect

the shaft
at the
slip yoke. Rotate
the

slip yoke
180
degrees; then, reconnect

the shaft
to the
slip yoke.
If the
vibra-

tion persists, disconnect
the
shaft
at

the rear axle companion flange.
Ro-

tate
the
companion flange
180
degrees

and reconnect
the
shaft
to the
flange.
DRIVE LINE ANGLE CHECK

Vibration
or
"shudder" which
is no-

ticeable either
on
fast acceleration
or

when coasting, using
the
engine
for a

brake,
may be
caused
by the
rear axle

housing being loose
on the
rear

springs
or by
improper pinion angle.

Refer
to
Group
3,
Part
2 for
pinion

angle checking procedures.
If the
rear

axle U-bolts (Fairlane, Montego,

Mustang, Cougar, Falcon models
only)
are
loose, torque
the
nuts
to

specification.

DRIVE SHAFT RUNOUT CHECK

Using
a
dial indicator, check
the

runout
at
each
end and in the
middle

of
the
driveshaft.
The
rear check

should
be
made
on the
small tube
sec-

tion
of the
shaft between
the
balance

weights
and the
yoke welds. Drive-

shaft runout should
not
exceed 0.035

inch
at any one
point.

DESCRIPTION

The drive shaft
is the
means
of

transferring power from
the
engine,

through
the
transmission,
to the dif-
ferential
in the
rear axle,
and
then
to

the rear wheels.
The
drive shaft incor-

porates
two
universal joints
and a
slip
yoke
(Fig. 1) or two
double cardan

universal joints,
one at
each
end of the

shaft (Figs.
2 and 3).

cardan has a center yoke (or cage), a

centering socket yoke, and a stud

yoke which is welded to each end of

the tube assembly. The splines in the

yoke and on the transmission output

shaft permit the drive shaft to move

forward and rearward as the axle

moves up and down.

All drive shafts are balanced. If the

vehicle is to be undercoated, cover the

drive shaft and universal joints to pre-

vent application of the undercoating

material.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

REMOVAL

1.
To maintain drive line balance,

mark the relationship of the rear drive

shaft yoke and the drive pinion flange

of the axle (if the yellow alignment

marks are not visible) with the shaft

so that they may be installed in their

original positions.

2.
Disconnect the rear U-joint or

rear double cardan joint from the

companion flange. Wrap tape around

the loose bearing caps to prevent

them from falling off the spider. Pull

the drive shaft toward the rear of the

vehicle until the slip yoke clears the

transmission extension housing and

the seal. On Lincoln Continental

models, remove the three roller bear-

ing assemblies off the spline teeth in-

side the slip yoke (Fig. 3). Install the

appropriate tool in the extension

housing to prevent lubricant leakage.

INSTALLATION

1.
If either the rubber seal on the

output shaft or the seal in the end of

the transmission extension housing is
damaged in any manner, replace the

seal or seals as required. Also, if the

lugs on the axle pinion flange are

shaved or distorted so that the bear-

ings slide, replace the flange.

2.
On Lincoln Continental models,

install the bearing assemblies over the

spline teeth in the slip yoke. Lubricate

the yoke spline with B8A-19589-A lu-

bricant. This spline is sealed so that

the transmission fluid does not

"wash" away the spline lubricant

(Figs.
4 and 5). Remove the tool from
the extension housing. Install the yoke

on the transmission output shaft. Do

not allow the yoke assembly to bot-

tom on the output shaft with excessive

force.

Install the drive shaft so that the

index marks or the yellow mark (if

visible) on the yoke (light side) is in

line with the yellow mark on the com-

panion flange. This prevents vibration

which occurs when the balance of the

shaft and balance of the axle pinion

flange become additive instead of neu-
