Keep torque flowing to the wheels with the TrakMotive CV Axle Shaft FD-8246, a direct-fit replacement for the 2009 Ford Flex [All], 2009-2014 Ford Taurus [All], 2009 Ford Taurus X [All], 2009-2014 Lincoln MKS [All], and 2009 Mercury Sable [All]. A CV (constant-velocity) axle transmits power from the transaxle to the wheel hub while flexing to accommodate steering angle and suspension travel.
Signs the axle may need replacing include clicking or popping during turns, grease flung from a torn boot, or vibration under acceleration — diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn or damaged CV axle is the cause, this drops in as a replacement. Sold individually; the listed applications use one. Country of origin: China.
