driveshaft

Quick question! Will it cause any damage in the front diff or transfer case or damage of any kind for that matter for me to drive my 4WD vehicle without the front driveshaft installed ??? Let's say I'm only going to drive it like this for 100 miles... Is this ok or a bad idea??

Hello all! My 2000 Eddie Bauer 5.0 Explorer has a pretty intense rumble/shake feeling when going over 65. It doesn’t shake the steering wheel but it’s mostly under the floorboard. The shake also happens in higher gears around 2-3000 rpm’s. At low speeds there’s a loud squeak coming from the back...

Hello, everyone. I have just replaced both rear driveshaft u-joints on a 2005 4x4 Explorer V6 (it had some of the symptoms, like clunking when engaging Reverse). I installed the heavy duty non-greasable Spicer ones recommended by RockAuto, and I used a ball joint press. After re-installing the...

When accelerating, I hear a loud knock or pop noise coming from the drivetrain. I pulled the rear diff cover off and the ring & pinion looked good. Some of the spider gears looked pitted, but none broken, and no sign of metal shavings. I dropped the front driveshaft and the noise was still...

Hi Gents, Is it okay to drive 2012 Ford Explorer XLT without drive shaft? I had to replace it with another used one but after installation there was vibration at low speed (35 - 40 mph) The mechanic removed it again and asked some time to fix it probably 2-3 days. He handed over the car to me...

I bought a 2004 Explorer 4.6L AWD with 130k, and there are a few problems I'm having with getting it to drive properly. I've been through the forums and have found potential remedies to a few of the common problems I'm experiencing, such as replacing the transmission solenoid pack, servo bores...

I've spent the past 17 years in a 2wd Exp. Now however I've got a 4x4 (a 99 4.0LSOHC Limited) and I've got a few things I don't quite understand on how everything works together. For instance I need to disconnect the front driveshaft in order to do other maintenance. I don't know if I need to...

Hey guys, oddball question for ya: Would it be possible to add a double cardan cv h yoke to the transfer case side of the rear drive shaft in a 1993 4 door explorer? Stay with me a second... So I did a SOA conversion, and because I didn't check my math when we welded the new perches I have...

Ok. My issue is not new. I already searched around on the forum and found a few people discussing this but no posted updates or "SOLVED" threads. I have a 2006 AWD. I have a vibration on acceleration (in pedal/front end). If you let-off and step into it again it goes away. Note also.. I do...

When rolling along slowly I heard a sound like something metallic, rubbing, similar to a bad wheel bearing. I looked underneath and saw the driveshaft must have been rubbing against the edge of the fuel tank (I can see the shaft is "polished") while the rest of the the shaft is quite dirty...

Hey guys. Today I've got a question on something some may consider childish, but it's also a question that could help preserve my transfer case clutch. I plan on doing the BWM in the near future because why not, and I know that allowing the TCC to slip will eventually destroy it. So as to avoid...

How long do the u-joints last in a 3 gen 4.6L 4x4 explorer? I seached, but did find much on u-joints. We have about 106K miles on our 2003 Explorer Limited 4x4 with the 4.6L.

I have a 96 Ranger with a 5 spd manual transmission, with over 200,000 miles on it, recently I noticed a rumbling and small vibration while driving. I replaced the front inner and outer wheel bearings just a month ago. I don't think it is anything to do with bearings, cv joint, etc but my...

My truck is having an issue right now where it vibrates badly when I stop at a light or back out of my driveway. It was at the shop a few days ago for a new rear main seal and as soon as I took it home it started to shake. It already had a slight shake from worn engine mounts but this is very...

The boot on my front driveshaft has a huge cut in it and I'm losing grease from the u-joint. The only way to fix this is to completely replace the front driveshaft. When I stopped by autozone to ask about it, they said there is a 23 in. one and a 24 in. one. Two questions: 1. How do you...
