2016 Ford Focus - Axle Shaft

Ford Focus Axle Shaft

The axle shaft on your Ford Focus connects both sides wheels to the carrier, ring, and pinion gears inside the differential, receiving power to keep your car moving. Axle shafts are normally found on both rear and four-wheel drive vehicles. Axles can bend or wear down over time, and may be damaged by failing axle shaft bearings that cause excessive friction the axle shaft. If the axle shaft on your Focus is already seriously damaged or bent, then you may need a full replacement, but inspect the axle shaft and bearing before reinstalling the axle to ensure that these parts can be reused. A failed or damaged axle shaft can cause wobbling or vibration while driving, or may loosen from the carrier and slide out of the axle housing, resulting in severe damage.
