The Drive Shaft is an important part of the Ford Thunderbird car that transmits the power and torque produced by a car's driving engine or transmission to its drive wheels. It is used to transmit mechanical power and rotation through the drivetrain; universal joint or splined joints are used to allow for misalignment. Specific models of Ford Thunderbird may use various kinds of driveshafts, including one-item, two-item and slip-in-tube, though the latter may be vary according to crash safety and weight distribution. Moreover, based on the drivetrain layout, Thunderbird vehicles may include the FWD layout with a single drive shaft that leads to the rear axle for AWD variants.

    Q: How to Service and Repair the Drive Shaft on Ford Thunderbird?
    A:
    The first step to service the drive/propeller shaft involves vehicle raising and support followed by dismantling the Muffler extension pipe assembly then removing eight retainers and heat shield. Index your parts like bolt, nut, washer, flex coupling and pinion flange using paint or markers for accurate reassembly but use different colored marks for the second retaining set which supports driveshaft and flex coupling to transmission and pinion flanges and exclude index-marks on the balance weight fasteners. Bolts connecting the flex coupling to the driveshaft should stay in place while holding the bolt to remove the three nuts and washers with bolts. You need to index-mark the driveshaft everywhere across the slip joint after which you can pull the front shaft assembly backward while removing bolts and spacers along with the driveshaft assembly. The procedure for alignment bushing installation includes adding one gram of grease to both alignment bushing cavities followed by indexing the marks for NVH prevention and then positioning the alignment bushing on the pinion flange piloting stem. Position the selective spacers and bolts in their original places without tightening them before sliding the front shaft assembly forward to continue with the alignment process for the transmission flange. To install the driveshaft flex coupling bolts begin by positioning the head of each bolt against the flange while placing bolts of two different lengths according to their compatibility with the specific flange structure. The short bolts should enter the transmission flange and the extended bolts belong in the drive pinion flange. Install the bolts by tightening them through the bolt heads while applying Threadlock 262 E2FZ-1 9554-B or an equivalent product that meets Ford specification WSK-M2G351-A6 to the threads of nut and bolt. End the process by evenly adjusting all bolts to avoid bracket twisting before you reinstall the heat shield along with the muffler and extension pipe assembly and return the vehicle to its normal position.
