Ford Explorer Sport Trac Axle Shaft

The Axle Shaft as a part of Ford Explorer Sport Trac applies to drive wheels transferring the power from the differential and independently rotating, which helps to improve the tractive capacity. Type of automotive steel shafts include solid for trucks and older rear wheel drive cars and half shaft for vehicles with independent suspension. Differentials and axle shafts are housed in solid axles and half shafts on the other hand transmits power from the transaxle to the wheels. The conditions that accompany life within an axle can cause the shafts to wear from obstructions, leading to things such as noise and vibration; the seals can also wear and lead to the loss of lubricant and contamination of the brake as well. In general, Axle Shaft is accountable for items such as weight-bearing, transmission of torque, and wheel positioning in Ford Explorer Sport Trac vehicles.

Q: How to check the rear axle shaft on a Ford Explorer Sport Trac?
A:
It has a hypoid semi-floating type rear axle assembly with the pinion gear below the centerline of the ring gear. The differential carrier is equipped with a pressed-steel cover and steel axle tubes that are pressed and welded in case of any leakage. There is an optional Traction-Lok limited slip rear axle that will allow normal operation until one wheel loses traction. It uses multi-disc clutch packs and a speed-sensitive engagement mechanism to lock both axleshafts together thus applying equal rotational power to both wheels. To callibrate it, you need the axle identification number which can be found on a small metal tag located near one of the cover bolts. It should be remembered that there may not always be a problem with the rear axle if some preliminary checks have been done. The common noises related to diagnosis of rear axles involve road noise, tire noise, and engine/transmission noise that can be also mistaken for mechanical problem.
