The Drive Shaft is an automotive power train part that is found in Ford Taurus models, and which plays a critical role in transmitting mechanical power and torque from the engine or the transmission to the drive wheels, thus facilitating power delivery. It is very strong and light at the same time, it uses methods like the universal joints and splined joint to help to deal with alignment differences. Since the production of Ford Taurus began, it has incorporated several kinds of the Drive Shaft, a one-part and two-part shaft. Some of the considerations to be made when determining the type of Drive Shaft include performance and safety, higher crash safety often refers to two-piece Drive Shafts. In all-wheel drive editions the Ford Taurus can have a single Drive Shaft that enables power delivery to the rear axle, thereby enhancing the efficient management of power in all the wheels.
Ford Taurus Drive Shaft Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to Remove and Replace the Drive Shaft on Ford Taurus?A:The first step of drive shaft replacement involves indexing the two flange ends. First put the vehicle in neutral position while it rests on a hoist then remove the Muffler and tailpipe followed by the 4 exhaust support brace bolts and the exhaust brace which need to be tightened to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft) torque when reinstalling. You should use new bolt-washer assemblies during installation of the rear constant velocity (CV) joint flange while discarding the original 3 pinion flange bolt and washer assemblies that require 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) torque during installation. You must detach the driveshaft CV flange from the rear drive unit (RDU) flange by using a flat-blade screwdriver. Keep the new bolts in storage as the CV joint bolts cannot be reused. After removing and discarding the 4 driveshaft-to-power transfer unit (PTU) flange bolts install new ones with 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) torque. A suitable prybar enables the separation of driveshaft flange from PTU flange before technicians remove the 2 outer center bearing bracket bolts and driveshaft while assisting each other to tighten the bolts to 30 Nm (22 lb-ft) torque upon reinstallation. To proceed you should take out 2 inner center bearing bolts along with the bracket as you will need to tighten them to 20 Nm (177 lb-in) upon reinstallation. Vibration in the driveshaft after installation should be addressed by indexing it followed by the backward execution of the removal steps before reinstalling.
