How to Remove and Replace the Drive Shaft on a 4.0L on Ford Mustang?

Your first step to replace or remove the driveshaft of a 4.0L vehicle involves placing it in neutral position on a hoist. You should make index marks on the driveshaft to maintain correct position but you should remove and discard the eight driveshaft flange bolts. New bolts must be used for installation where you should follow a cross pattern prior to tightening them to 103 Nm (76 lb-ft). The driveshaft and its components must not receive hammer impacts during disconnection of flanges from pilots because a proper tool should be used only in the marked application space to release the flanges. The removal operation begins when you disconnect the driveshaft flanges after which you take out the driveshaft. To reinstall properly position the driveshaft flanges directly onto the pinion flange pilots before evenly tightening their bolts through a cross pattern system.

How to Service and Repair the Drive Shaft for the 4.0L Engine on Ford Mustang?

The first step to service or repair the driveshaft of a 4.0L engine requires hoisting the vehicle with transmission set to neutral. Apply index marks to the driveshaft in order to achieve proper alignment when reinstalling it. The eight driveshaft flange bolts require replacement before installation where torque should be set to 103 Nm (76 ft. lbs). Exercise careful handling since the driveshaft flanges require tight contact with their flange pilots and should avoid striking either component with a hammer. A proper tool should be used only in the specified area to separate the driveshaft flanges from their pilots before removing the driveshaft. The installation requires driveshaft flanges to seat perfectly on pinion flange pilots followed by an equal distribution of torque across the bolts in a cross pattern. The threads of retained driveshaft flange bolts can be treated with threadlock and sealer when new flange bolts are not accessible. Use the installation opposite procedure while using new fasteners.

The Drive Shaft in Ford Mustang automobiles plays the crucial role of transferring mechanical power and torque from the car's engine or transmission to the drive wheels thereby facilitating proper working of a car. This component must bear torsion and shear stresses and, at the same time, be as light as possible to minimise inertia. SUS Drive Shafts issues call for splined or universal joints to enable adjustment, especially where differential in alignment between the engine and the rear axle is expected in Ford Mustang. For many years, Ford Mustang models have used various types of Drive Shafts which include one piece and two piece Drive Shafts. Decisions of Drive Shaft type can have an impact on driving characteristics and safety, while the two-piece Drive Shafts can add crash safety. In some designs, like in all-wheel drive systems more than one Drive Shaft might be utilized in order to divide the torque properly between the front and rear axles.
