A differential system causes the rear axle assembly to have different wheel speeds while cornering. There are splines on the shafts of the axle, which fit into the differential side gears. For example, drive axles in 4WD models have outer Constant Velocity (CV) joints and inner ones on both sides. An optional locking limited-slip rear axle is available for enhanced traction. When you think about axles as potential sources of noise, don't overlook others like road or tire sounds. This means that engine and transmission noises can also affect diagnosis of any axle issues.

After completing the additional steps, support the differential with a floor jack, remove the differential's nuts and front torque arm bolt, and move it forward to clear the studs before carefully lowering it.

In 4WD models, there is a fully independent front axle assembly.

For 2005 and later models, start by removing the hub dust cap and driveaxle nut.

To remove the lock bolt from the differential pinion shaft, you slide the notched end of the pinion shaft out of the differential case as far as it will go.

Remove the four front differential support bolts.

To complete the front driveaxle removal, remove the steering knuckle, and then remove the driveaxle assembly.

To prevent the differential case from turning when removing the pinion shaft lock bolt, position a large screwdriver between the rear axle case and a ring gear bolt.

Turn off the air suspension system.

The notched end of the pinion shaft should be slid out of the differential case as far as it will go.

For Expedition and Navigator models, you should remove the brackets holding the stabilizer bar to the axle, lower the stabilizer bar, disconnect the air suspension system height sensor, and support the rear axle differential case with a floor jack.

Mark the relationship of the inner CV joint to the flange.

Due to the need for special tools and equipment, it is recommended to limit operations on these models to those described.

Tighten the U-bolt nuts to the specified torque.

Before lowering the axle assembly, the upper, lower, and axle tube mounting bolts need to be removed.
