Re: 1996 Parts and Problems

Which driveshaft were they referring to? If you have a 4WD or AWD Explorer, you have 2 driveshafts, one for the front and one for the rear. There are axle shafts inside the rear axle (one to each rear wheel) and halfshafts on the front, one to each front wheel. Maybe they were referring to a split Constant Velocity (CV) boot on a front halfshaft, or maybe they found a bad u-joint.

Either of these may not be obvious to you in the early stages since the wear would be gradual over time, but could be found during a close inspection. Or, maybe they were just trying to get you to lower your price.
