Rear OE Driveshaft Assembly

The ZDS9453 Rear OE Driveshaft Assembly from Zumbrota Drivetrain (also branded as USA Standard Gear) is a new, fully assembled replacement part for 1997-1998 Ford F-150 trucks. It provides a dependable and cost-effective solution for restoring your vehicle's driveline. Constructed from ASTM A513 DOM tubing, this driveshaft is engineered for durability and longevity. It features a four-bolt flange at the differential and a double Cardan with a bolt-on slip yoke at the transfer case. The assembly includes new universal joints, slip yokes, shafts, and other components, all lubricated with high-temperature grease. It is dynamically balanced at over 3,000 RPMs to ensure a vibration-free driving experience. This driveshaft measures 41-1/2 inches from the center of the U-joint caps. It is specifically designed to fit 1997-1998 Ford F-150 rear applications with the 4.2L or 4.6L engine, M50D manual or 4R70W automatic transmission, and a 120-inch wheelbase. The application summary extends fitment to 1997-2003 Ford F-150 4WD models with these engine and transmission configurations. USA Standard Gear driveshafts are built new, not remanufactured, and come ready for installation. They are backed by a limited lifetime warranty. The 'Perfect Fit' design guarantees proper fitment and ease of installation, while the strengthened construction helps prevent common OE failures.
