Thanks for the video, it really helped when I had to replace mine. I bought the 2 piece replacement from Auto Shack in Ottawa, Canada. Total 414 bucks including taxes and free delivery . Arrived in 2 days, The whole job took about 3 hours, 1/2 of which was jacking up the car to get all the wheels off the ground. That way you can rotate the shaft to get at all the bolts easily. The replacement fitted perfectly and now there is one less part to go wonky.

Mine is driveable, but I need to keep the rpm's down below 2000. I have a new one on the way. 439.00 dollars for the whole thing. Thank you for the in-depth video and commentary. I was going to risk going on the highway to go to my friends house to put it in, but thanks to this video, I think I can handle it myself! I have an impact gun and deep well impact sockets so I'm good to go. Great video!

Thanks so much, I appreciate it! I drove to New Jersey from Massachusetts when it started and I drove it all the way back that way! Not a fun ride but it made it. I figured if the bearings blew put completely, hopefully the carriers will hold it in place lol

I replaced mine with the aftermarket one and it installed easily. (The 2 piece driveshaft.) It got rid of the vibration! Of course, 2 bad carrier bearings!! Its supposed to last longer, stronger and better than the OEM! The OEM had 206k miles on it! It was due for a new one. Around three hun fifty dolls we got a complete driveshaft, 3 hours of labor. Myself. Ratchets and extentions. Loctite. Whole new car! FYI..

@Don Widrick you should be able to, that shaft is just to drive the rear gear case and wheels. The front wheel drive is separate. I have not tried that but should be a problem. Have you got under and tried to see if the shaft is loose on the bearings? Could definitely be a rear gear case issue.

@Don Widrick mine would vibrate during the shift, between gears, and if I let off, be tween gears and ease into it I could make it not vibrate. But all my u-joints were good, it was the 2 carrier bearings (holding the center of the drive shaft up) that were Jacked, bad! I replaced the entire drive shaft. I use the traction assist button and nothing vibrates anymore on mine. I could feel the vibration mostly thru the console/center arm rest. If you jack up the center of the rear end so both tires are off the ground u should be able to spin them by hand to listen for anything wrong in the rear end... I would think. If the drive shaft is out!!! Check for slop in the shaft joints, bearings, if theres a shaft in.

Would be an even better video if you would have described the actual failure symptom for a bad drive shaft. I just removed my driveshaft in 07 Edge due to loud banging noise coming from under the vehicle. It's very rusty and looks just like yours with bad bushings. I'm having no luck determining if the problem is the driveshaft, rear diff, or transfer case. :( The Edge drive is nice and smooth with driveshaft.

It was a banging directly under the vehicle upon acceleration. Mostly from a start position but would do it if slowing down and not coming to a complete stop and re accelerating. Once up to steady speed it would stop and be ok. It's possible you may have multiple issues. When does the banging occur? Is it the same scenario? It's possible it could be a control arm banging, sway bar/links, shocks, it needs to be put in the air and diagnosed properly. Never a good idea to just throw parts at it until it's fixed. How is the exhaust hangars, is the exhaust bouncing around?

On a factory one they are pressed on in a way that you can not get them off past the ujoints. The ones on Amazon will not fit to a factory shaft, only the aftermarket companies that make the shaft slightly different and serviceable. Ford only sells it as an assembly because of that. I got he aftermarket one and has been great, no issues, however if an issue should arise, I will be able to rebuild this one. I saw them on Amazon Ada few people said they got them and didn't work and had to get a new shaft assembly.

I've been trying to figure out what is causing vibration on mine (looks exactly like yours) that is most prominent between approximately 18 mph and 34 mph. It occurs both while accelerating and while coasting up to a stop. Is this possibly caused by a worn driveshaft? I know it is not a transmission problem according to the tranny shop. Thanks
