How to Service and Repair the Drive Shaft on Ford Escape?

Before maintenance of the driveshaft starts you must lift the vehicle and provide support before taking off the rear tires and using lug nuts to hold the brake drums in place. Keeping the vehicle stationary on the hoist for more than a brief time will cause overheating problems. Write down the base speed while the transmission is engaged before upping the vehicle's speed to determine maximum vibrations and recording that speed. The rear driveshaft connector needs an inspection for wearing elements that require immediate replacement. Operate the vehicle at transmission gear while the driveshaft rotates between 97 - 113 km/h (60 - 70 mph). The assistant should mark all heavy areas on the driveshaft using a marker at its rear, middle and front points. The driveshaft balance process requires mounting two screw-type hose clamps on it and continuing this step until finding the optimal screw placement by observing the vibration levels with each 90-degree rotation. The final step involves driving at baseline speed to check if vibrations remain by readjusting the clamp spacing apart to achieve drive shaft balance.

Q: How to Service and Repair the Drive Shaft on Ford Escape?
A: Before maintenance of the driveshaft starts you must lift the vehicle and provide support before taking off the rear tires and using lug nuts to hold the Brake Drums in place. Keeping the vehicle stationary on the hoist for more than a brief time will cause overheating problems. Write down the base speed while the transmission is engaged before upping the vehicle's speed to determine maximum vibrations and recording that speed. The rear driveshaft connector needs an inspection for wearing elements that require immediate replacement. Operate the vehicle at transmission gear while the driveshaft rotates between 97 - 113 km/h (60 - 70 mph). The assistant should mark all heavy areas on the driveshaft using a marker at its rear, middle and front points. The driveshaft balance process requires mounting two screw-type hose clamps on it and continuing this step until finding the optimal screw placement by observing the vibration levels with each 90-degree rotation. The final step involves driving at baseline speed to check if vibrations remain by readjusting the clamp spacing apart to achieve drive shaft balance.
