For the Ford Taurus X Drive Shaft, can be said that the Mark is an important mechanical Asset of Ford Motors Corporation in the realization of its reliability and performance bearings in CUVs. Intended for the conveying of mechanical power and torque from the engine to the drive wheels, the Taurus X Drive Shaft has to accept alignment and distance differentials that are dealt with by means of a universal joint and splined joint. This way, the Ford Taurus X runs as efficiently and safely as possible during its operation as can be expected. The Drive Shaft fits most models of the Taurus X, single and twin, although the latter is endowed with better crash safety features. Indeed, by ensuring that the Ford Drive Shaft is both lightweight yet stiff, the moment of inertia is kept low while torsion as well as shear stress are well handled so as to allow the efficient transmission of torque in the drivetrain of the car. Most noteworthy, the Ford Taurus X was the first American model to apply a continuously variable transmission or CVT as demonstrated by Ford's ingenuity. The use of a more powerful Duratec 35 V6 3.5 L for Taurus X also underlines the importance of Taurus X Drive Shaft in improving the whole performance of cars. Some of the Taurus X Drive Shaft features that are of utmost value are the power-operated rear liftgate and power-folding second-row seats. A Ford Drive Shaft is admired in the market for reliability and performance and reestablishes Ford as a company known for quality engineering.
Ford Taurus X Drive Shaft Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to Remove and Replace the Drive Shaft on Ford Taurus X?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.
