Driveline System: Driveshaft
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The driveshaft has traditional balance weights attached (spot-welded) by the manufacturer.
CAUTION:
All driveshaft assemblies are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft to prevent overspray of any undercoating material.
CAUTION:
Manual and automatic transmission, as well as 2.3L and 3.0L engine, driveshafts are different. Make sure that the driveshaft being installed is compatible with the vehicle or damage to the vehicle may occur.
