How to Remove and Replace the Drive Shaft on Lincoln MKZ?

Both driveshaft flanges require indexing before performing the removal and replacement procedure. Place the vehicle in neutral gear while it rests on a hoist where the exhaust flex pipe remains properly supported above the surface. Separate the exhaust system at the flex pipe by removing its 2 nuts then install new nuts using a torque of 40 Nm (30 lb-ft). After supporting the exhaust system properly you should disconnect the two front exhaust hangers before lowering the system to expose enough space for driveshaft extraction. New bolts should replace the 4 front driveshaft-to-Power Transfer Unit (PTU) flange bolts after tightening them to 70 Nm (52 lb-ft). A proper pry bar should be used to detach the driveshaft flange from the PTU flange. The 4 rear driveshaft-to-pinion flange bolts need replacement with new ones before torquing them to 70 Nm (52 lb-ft). A crew must tighten the driveshaft center bearing support nuts and driveshaft assembly before finally tightening the center bearing support nuts to 55 Nm (41 lb-ft). Indexing of driveshaft should be performed when driveshaft vibration occurs after installation. Install the driveshaft in reverse order of the removal steps.
