Will an explorer front drive shaft fit an 00 ranger? out of like an 00 explorer?

 

yes

 

thank you stone thats 3 yeses so it will work

 

if it is a double cardan shaft it wont fit, like in the 4x4auto tcases

but the explorers that are 2high 4high and 4low will fit

 

it works if you swap the flange

 

This actually for my truck, no need to swap flanges. My front shaft is in the shop, and i need to test out my new toy to see how it does.

 

Yes and No...



Look on right side of screen....

98+ 4x4 Rangers use a CV/ball style rear joint(top in picture). Same shaft is also used in some 95+ Explorers.

Bottom shaft is the Double Cardon found in 97 and older rangers and some explorers.

 

shane the lower one should be TTB correct? it is talking Live axle to Live axle its the same distance

 

TTB ranger, yes. I've seen 'em under A-Arm Expos at yards.


What are you asking about distance??? Can't read what ya wrote. lol. My pic I posted is my SHORTEND up 97 and older shaft to fit with the adaptor in the 'bucket' of the tcase.

 

The expo that have the double Car joint on SLA just have a different mounting flange that can be changed

 

oh...gotcha.
