Description

Keep your steering input connected from the column to the steering gear with the Dorman steering shaft 425-384, a lower steering shaft built to directly replace the original on the 2002-2010 Ford Explorer, 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and 2002-2010 Mercury Mountaineer. Dorman tests it to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and precision-machines it for a tight, secure fit.

Precise fit: Engineered within strict tolerances to directly replace the original lower shaft on the listed applications.
Safety tested: Each design is tested to rigorous regulatory standards intended to protect the driver in a collision.
Durability tested: Built to meet torsional, tensile, fatigue and other durability testing for reliable operation.
Corrosion resistant: Salt-spray testing and a premium coating help protect the shaft against corrosion.

The lower steering shaft carries the driver's steering input from the column down to the steering gear. Signs it may need replacing include a clunk or knock felt through the steering wheel, excess play, or steering that feels notchy or binds while turning. If a worn lower shaft is the cause, this Dorman part replaces it. Other steering components can cause similar symptoms, so have the system diagnosed before replacing parts. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
