TrakMotive FD-8278 rear left CV axle shaft for the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer and other vehicles sends engine torque to the rear left wheel. Its joints flex with the suspension so the shaft keeps turning as the wheel moves.
A clicking noise in turns, vibration under load or grease thrown from a torn boot can mean a joint is worn. These signs alone do not prove the axle is the problem, since a worn wheel bearing can make noise too. Shops usually change the rear axles as a pair, but this listing is a single rear left shaft.
The rear left position on the 2006-2010 Ford Explorer takes one axle, and the rear right is a separate part. This axle also fits the 2007-2010 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and the 2006-2010 Mercury Mountaineer.
