2006 Ford E-250 Axle Beam Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the axle beam on 2006 Ford E-250?

  A: A repair process for the axle beam starts by taking off the wheel spindle together with the radius arm. The right-hand front axle needs assistance from a hoist perched on the left-hand side that will reduce suspension weight so the pivot bolt can come out. The removal process starts by discarding the pivot nut and bolt before taking out the axle. Position the axle in place then secure a new pivot bolt along with its matching nut but do not fully tighten them now. Afterwards install both parts in this sequence: radius arm and wheel spindle. You should tighten the axle pivot nut to 176 Nm (130 ft. lbs.) after the vehicle weight sits on the wheels and check the front end alignment before doing any necessary adjustment. Professional service problems may occur whenever maintenance requires the use of same-part-number replacement components due to their critical role in system performance. The correct torque values determined for reassembly must be maintained for proper retention of vehicle parts.
