Ford Edge Rear Driveshaft for 2007-2008 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX

This Ford Edge rear driveshaft is a complete rear prop shaft assembly listed for the 2007–2008 Ford Edge and the matching Lincoln MKX. It measures 80.2 to 82.1 inches (2037 to 2087 mm) long, has a 2.5-inch (63.5 mm) shaft diameter, and is listed under reference numbers C-0374, 652005, 7T4Z4R602A and 936846. Easy Life Markets sells it as a ready-to-fit assembly for drivers and repair shops replacing a worn or damaged rear driveshaft on these crossovers.

The Edge and MKX were built on the same platform and share many drivetrain parts. On all-wheel-drive versions, a power take-off unit at the front sends drive to a long rear driveshaft, which turns the rear drive unit. Because this shaft is long and spins fast, it relies on universal joints, a slip yoke and careful balancing to run smoothly. Worn joints or a damaged tube usually show up as vibration, clunks or a droning noise. Replacing the complete assembly deals with all of the joints in one job. For background, see how a drive shaft works.

What Is Included

1 x rear driveshaft (prop shaft) assembly, black finish

The driveshaft arrives fully assembled. The supplier states that high-temperature grease is pre-applied to the slip yoke and U-joints. Bolts, nuts and any centre-bearing hardware are not listed as included, so plan to reuse or replace them according to your service information.

Checking Fitment

The supplier lists this rear driveshaft for:

Ford Edge, 2007–2008
Lincoln MKX, 2007–2008

Only all-wheel-drive versions of these vehicles use a rear driveshaft; front-wheel-drive versions do not have one. Driveshafts can also change between model years and production dates, so please confirm the part before ordering:

Compare part numbers. Look for a number on your old shaft or check a Ford or Lincoln parts catalogue with your VIN. Compare it with 7T4Z4R602A and the other numbers listed above.
Measure the old shaft. The overall length should fall within 80.2–82.1 in (2037–2087 mm).
Check the ends and centre support. Compare the flanges, yokes and any centre bearing on your shaft with the product photos.

If anything does not match, or you would like a second opinion, get in touch with us and send your VIN and old part number.

Signs Your Rear Driveshaft Needs Replacing

Vibration that builds with road speed, often felt through the floor
A clunk from under the vehicle when accelerating or changing direction
A humming or droning noise that changes with speed rather than engine revs
Dry, rusty or loose U-joints when checked by hand with the vehicle safely supported
A dented or bent tube after hitting road debris

Similar symptoms can come from a failing power take-off unit, rear drive unit or wheel bearing, so a full inspection is a good idea before you replace the shaft.

Installation Tips

Raise and support the vehicle securely on stands on level ground, and chock the wheels.
Mark the shaft flanges before removal so you can note their original orientation.
With help, support the long shaft while removing the bolts at each end and at any centre support.
Clean all mating surfaces, fit the new shaft, and tighten the bolts to the torque values in your service manual.
Test drive at several speeds and check for vibration, noise or leaks.

Because the rear driveshaft is long and heavy, a second person or a transmission jack is helpful. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with drivetrain work.

Why Replace the Whole Shaft

A worn U-joint can often be replaced on its own, but that means pressing joints in and out and ideally rebalancing the shaft afterwards. On a long rear shaft like this, balance is especially important. A complete Ford Edge rear driveshaft assembly arrives ready to fit, so you avoid the time, tools and risk of vibration that can come with a rebuild, and every joint is fresh at the same time.

Looking After the AWD System

The rear driveshaft works together with the power take-off unit and the rear drive unit. Keeping the fluids in both of those units at the level and interval in your owner's manual helps the whole all-wheel-drive system run quietly. It is also sensible to run tyres of matching size and similar wear on all four corners, because large differences in tyre size make the drivetrain work harder. When the vehicle is raised for routine service, take a quick look at the driveshaft joints and bolts.

Who This Driveshaft Is For

This driveshaft is intended for owners of an all-wheel-drive 2007–2008 Ford Edge or Lincoln MKX, and for independent workshops servicing these vehicles, who have checked their part number and shaft length against the details above.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine Ford or Lincoln part? No. It is an unbranded aftermarket driveshaft sold under the reference numbers listed above. It is not a genuine part of the vehicle maker.

Will it fit a front-wheel-drive Edge? No. Front-wheel-drive versions do not use a rear driveshaft.

Does it fit later Edge models? The supplier lists 2007–2008 only. For other years, check your part number first.
