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.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac Axle Shaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the rear axle on a Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A: Removal begins with loosening the lug nuts on the rear wheels, raising the rear of the vehicle, supporting it securely on jackstands and removing the rear wheels. Also remove the rear spare wheel/tire for more working room. Next, remove the axleshafts, and disconnect the rear of the driveshaft from the axle. Unbolt the brake line junction block from the axle housing and detach the brake lines from the clips on the axle housing. Disconnect the rear anti-lock electrical connector from the sensor on the axle housing. On models with Automatic Ride Control (ARC), disconnect the rear height sensor. Proceed to remove the rear brake drums or discs/calipers. Remove the nuts and bolts that secure the brake backing plate, or disc brake adapter and dust shield) to the axle. Separate the backing plate from the axle and tie them up out of the way. Detach the vent hose from the axle housing. The vent hose is secured to the axle by a crimp-type clamp - you'll need to replace it with a screw-type clamp. Release the front parking brake cable from the rear cables. Place a transmission jack beneath the axle housing. Secure the axle housing to the jack with a safety strap or chain. Note: You'll need to tilt the axle housing on the jack to remove it. Secure the axle so it can't fall off the jack, but position the strap or chain so the axle can be tilted. Remove the U-bolt nuts that secure the spring/shock mounting bracket to the axle. Detach the shock absorber from the bracket. Lower the bracket away from the spring, then remove the U-bolts. Unbolt the stabilizer bar bracket bolts from the axle housing. Move the stabilizer bar out of the way. On models equipped with the 5.0L VB, remove the right-side anti-windup bar. Raise the axle up off the spring. Move it toward the passenger side of the vehicle until the driver's side end of the axleshaft clears the spring. Tilt the driver's side of the axle housing down. Lower the axle, move it toward the driver's side and remove it from beneath the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of the removal process. Be sure to tighten the fasteners. Tighten the wheel lug nuts.
- Q: How do you remove the Wheel Bearing,Wheel Seal and rear axle on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A: To remove the axleshaft, loosen lug nuts on rear wheels, raise vehicle on jackstands, remove wheels, brake components, and carrier cover. Drain differential lubricant and remove differential shaft lock-bolt and pinion shaft. Push axleshafts towards center, remove C-locks, and extract axleshafts without harming oil seal. Use rear axle bearing remover to withdraw bearing and oil seal. Clean housing bore, lubricate new bearing, and install. Apply grease to axleshaft seal and install with installation tool or socket. Reinstall axleshaft, install C-lock, and position pinion shaft. Apply thread-locking compound to lock-bolt, install and tighten. Clean gasket surface, apply silicone sealant, and install cover and bolts. Refill axle, install brake components, wheels, and lug nuts. Lower vehicle and tighten lug nuts.
- Q: How to remove and replace the front CV joint and Axle Shaft on a Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A: To remove the front wheels, loosen the lug nuts and raise the front of the vehicle on jackstands. Remove front brake calipers, locking hubs, Wheel Bearings, and locknuts. Take out the spindle by tapping it and get rid of the spindle seat. The shaft and joint assembly should be pulled out from left side. On the right side, remove the clamps, slide the rubber boot onto the stub shaft and pull out the shaft and joint assembly. For spindle bearing and oil seal replacement, remove the bearing and oil seal with a slide hammer and puller attachment. Clean the spindle bore and install a new bearing and seal. To replace axleshaft assembly Universal Joint, remove snap-rings, and proceed as for driveshaft universal joints. Press slinger onto spindle, install rubber boot with clamps on stub shaft slip yoke to reassemble. Slide through knuckle shaft and joint assembly engaging splines. Install splash shield, spindle, wheel bearings, locking hubs, brake caliper, and front wheels.
- Q: How to check rear axle on 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.
- Q: How to remove and install the front axle on 4WD Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A: To remove the front differential on 1991-1994 models, first raise the vehicle and then install jackstands. The driveshaft should be disconnected, brake calipers removed, tie-rod ends detached, and stabilizer bar taken out. The coil spring could be compressed with a floor jack, after which it can be removed and thereafter the shock absorber can be dismantled. Remove the radius arm including its bracket followed by the pivot bolt. While 1995 and later models only require loosening lug nuts to raise the vehicle and remove the wheel(s), caliper, and brake disc. Disconnect the ABS sensor, remove the hub drive axle/nut, and support the lower control arm. Remove the control arm balljoint nut plus stabilizer bar and pry the inner CV Joint assembly. Press out the drive axle from the hub then disconnect the front driveshaft. Support the differential, remove mounting bolts, and pull out axle.
