I just did the same job. It's a lot easier if you can get all 4 wheels off the ground so that you can spin the drive shaft .

Put the shifter in neutral, chock a rear wheel, and lift only one front wheel off the ground. You'll be able to spin the driveshaft. It's a viscous coupling in the rear.

If you loosen the carrier bearings first would that have given you more room to get to the opposite side bolts on the shaft. I have to do this job in my CX9 same setup thanks to ford. I may rent a lift for $25 for an hour.

Honestly it's not hard to do. I wouldn't even spend the money for a lift. A few bolts and it's out.

It’s me again! Can I ask what your production date is on your Edge? I’m having a hard time finding a driveshaft when they all say that they are only compatible with a Ford Edge with a production date after July 24, 2008. Mine is a 2008 Ford Edge Limited with a production date of October, 2007. I just don’t want to get the wrong one and have to go through the hassle of mailing it back. I noticed they are different lengths for the different years. Can you point me in the right direction?

Hello lol, I will look at my build date when I get off work, I know when I ordered mine years ago off rock auto it didn’t ask me anything about the build date, but I know mine from the factory was a 3 piece driveshaft and the aftermarket ones are a retrofit 2 piece so now mine has a 2 piece in it. I know ford had changed from a 3 piece to a 2 piece after a couple years so I’m wondering if that’s what they wanna know so they can sell you a 3 piece driveshaft vs an updated 2 piece one.

Have you ever just replaced the hanger bearing and not the whole driveshaft???

The factory driveshafts are non serviceable unfortunately. I was originally planning on doing that but you can't. If you buy the aftermarket ones then they are serviceable. Just Ford's way of screwing us out of money lol

Can I ask the symptoms you had of having the bad driveshaft?
@T-MillProductions

Yes, ours had a horrible vibration when we would drive and you could feel it in the shifter if you held it while driving and you could feel it on your feet. Best thing to do is jack up the vehicle safely and try and move the drive shaft by the carrier bearing and see if there is a lot of up and down movement in it. A little is okay but more that about 3/16 is bad. Also check the u joints the same way, but check the Sid ego side play too. Any movement of any kind in those means they’re bad

@@T-MillProductions Thank you so much. I have a 2008 Ford Edge and it started making grinding noises here and there a couple weeks ago which were worse when the wheel was turning. But it wasn’t all the time. I needed front wheel hubs and bearings and outer tie rod ends so bad then replaced. Went to drive it today and started hearing a horrible fringing noise then when I went to turn the wheel it just didn’t want to go at all. I managed to get it back home but when pressing the gas it doesn’t want to go and grinds horrible. There’s so much vibration and grinding coming from under the car. I thought it was the transmission actually but the fact that it’s so much worse when turning the wheel makes me think driveshaft. Does that sound right to you? I’m having it looked at this week but scared of what they’ll find.

Is your edge all wheel drive? And how many miles are on it? What you’re describing sounds like a failed power transfer unit or PTU. Mine had the idler bearing seize up and blew a hole in the case when I backed out of my driveway. But you only have those in an awd version. It also does sound like a driveshaft carrier bearing tho too. Is there any fluid leaking on the ground under your edge?

Air's over-rated. Atleast 95% of air jobs can be done with electric. I have the biggest mofo DeWalt makes... 1/2 electric impact. Not everyone owns a compressor, or has access to air where the vehicle gets parked.
