Front Constant Velocity Driveshaft Parts for Ford Excursion & 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty® 4x4 Trucks

We stock a complete line of driveshaft parts for Ford Excursion and 1999-2004 Super Duty® 4x4 Trucks with oem non-greaseable, Double-Cardan Front Constant Velocity (CV) Driveshafts. The Double-Cardan CV Joint is located at the transfer case of the shaft and a single Cardan universal joint is at the front (axle end). While the basic configuration of the shafts is the same for all years, the actual components used will vary depending on the year and make of Constant Velocity Joint used. Dan the Gear Man® Tech Note: The Tech Term "Cardan" refers to a conventional cross type universal joint. A Double-Cardan CV joint is a constant velocity joint that has two Cardan type universal joints as component parts. For more information on this subject, see TSB3500 Universal Joint History, Types, General Service Methods, and Inspection; or TM3000 Driveshaft Service Manual.

Browse through this web page for the world's most complete selection of original equipment quality parts needed to restore your 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty® or 2000-2005 Ford Excursion Front Double-Cardan CV Driveshaft to like-new performance. Before placing your order, be sure to read the yellow highlighted Dan the Gear Man® Tech Notes and Our Driveshaft Identification Section.

For a given year/engine/transmission/front axle combination, complete shaft assemblies will be interchangeable, however, the same is not always true (continued below.......)

Driveshaft Identification
The Double Cardan Constant Velocity Front Driveshafts used on Ford Excursion and 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty 4x4s were not assembled with all the same components, so you will find significant part variations that require you to identify what pieces your particular driveshaft was built with.

Click to Enlarge Your Ford Excursion or 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty® 4x4 truck will have one of two types of non-greaseable Double-Cardan Front Driveshaft Constant Velocity Joints.  Many early production trucks will have a unique, easily rebuildable, Saginaw type Double-Cardan Constant Velocity Joint that was not used on any other application. Some early model trucks and most later production vehicles will have a Spicer type Double Cardan CV.  Aside from the universal joints themselves, NO constant velocity part is interchangeable between the two designs.

Click on the photo link at the left to enlarge it. As you can see, there are obvious visual differences between the two designs. You can also positively verify which style CV joint you have by measuring the distance between the center of adjacent u-joint bearing cups in the center yoke.

Click to Enlarge		 By far, most Ford Excursion and 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty 4x4s will have a TYPE A Slip Joint at the front of the Double Cardan Constant Velocity front driveshaft. Some very late production Excursions may have a Type B Slip Joint, as will most original equipment replacement assemblies sold after 2005. According to the Ford Parts Listings, a few production shafts were built with a Type C Slip Joint (See BOOT Section below), however, most shafts with a Type C Slip Joint are ones where the factory Slip Stub and Yoke have been replaced.

Boots and Boot Clamps

Click to Enlarge		 Original Equipment Ford Excursion and 1999-2004 Super Duty 4x4 Double Cardan Front Constant Velocity Driveshafts will have one of three types of Slip Yoke Boots. By far the most common type is the Type A 6 Bellow Boot which probably was used on over 99% of the shafts. Type B, 9 Bellow Boots might be found on some really late production trucks, but are more likely to be found on original equipment replacement driveshafts made after 2005. The Type C Boot is listed by Ford for all years, but our experience is it will be rarely found on driveshafts for these years and models.

Double-Cardan Constant Velocity Parts for Saginaw Type CV
The Ford special Saginaw (also called AAM) CV is very similar in design to the smaller 3R series greaseable Saginaw Double Cardan Constant Velocity Joint used in numerous General Motors vehicles since the 1970's. However, the non-greaseable version used by Ford in the Excursion and Super Duty® is both larger and stronger than the the GM 3R CV. The special Ford Saginaw CV joint features u-joints with 1-3/16" diameter cups and 3-1/2" center to center span between the universal joints. The Flange Yoke is easy to rebuild using QU40741 or QU40752 Parts Kit and if needed, QU50038 Yoke Liner. See Driveshaft ID Section above for CV measurement information. These Saginaw type of shafts were only used in early production vehicles, but since used ones often end up in newer trucks, we are listing them for all years of this generation of Ford 4x4s.

Double-Cardan Constant Velocity Parts for Spicer Type CV
The non-greaseable, Spicer type Double-Cardan CV was used for more years so it is much more common than the Saginaw version. The heart of this constant velocity joint is a hardened steel ball filled with tiny needle bearings is pressed in the flange yoke. The needles ride on the stud of the Ball Stud Tube Yoke. The u-joint cup diameter is 1-3/16". If the flange yoke casting is in good shape, and you have access to a blind hole bearing puller, you can replace the QU40704 Ball and Socket without replacing the flange yoke casting itself.

Dan the Gear Man® Tech Note: Spicer Type CV Joints have centering Balls with tiny needle bearings. The bearings ride on a machined stud that is part of the Ball Stud Tube Yoke welded to the driveshaft tubing. You can easily rebuild your CV joint yourself AS LONG AS THE STUD IS NOT WORN! The 1/2" diameter stud must be in good shape, not worn more than 0.002"-0.003", grooved, or pitted. A worn stud means you need to see a machine shop for cutting off the old yoke, plus welding and trueing the new QU40825 Ball Stud Tube Yoke. Once that is done, the shaft can be reassembled and then balanced as an assembly.

Dan the Gear Man® Tech Note: When installed in a vehicle with the weight on the tires, a Driveshaft should have the slip joint positioned at about the midpoint of it's normal travel. Most full size truck slip joints have a normal travel length of 2.75" to 3". The exact point of the slip joint at rest position will vary depending on the vehicle loading and condition of the front springs. If a driveshaft is too long, you can damage the driveshaft or even break a transfer case. Too short of a driveshaft can cause increase spline wear, or worse, allowing the slip joint to separate as the axle articulates up and down while driving.

Manuals
An awful lot of driveshaft parts are wrecked by the slam-bang methods of universal joint replacement used by most people doing driveshaft service. Your Double Cardan driveshaft components are machined to incredibly precise specifications and can be easily damaged by either poor service procedures or makeshift tools (or both). Our Driveshaft Manuals guide you through the various driveshaft service jobs using clear color photographs and detailed text.

Small Parts
Driveshaft attachment hardware is one of the most overlooked components requiring frequent replacement. Ford used bolts with factory pre-applied Threadlocker on the bolt threads. While you can reuse these bolts if you use liquid Threadlocker, you can not compensate for either head wear or bolt fatigue. Replacing your driveshaft attachment hardware when performing other driveshaft service is good preventative maintenance.

Tools
Most CV and universal joint service is done using makeshift tools and hammering on the parts until something gives service methods. Driveshaft parts and universal joints are incredibly precise components that can be easily damaged by such slam-bang work. There is a better way to perform driveshaft service using application specific press tooling and approved service procedures. Yeah, I know the Manuals and Tools are expensive, but when you consider that a poorly installed front u-joint blowing out as you tool down the Interstate at 75 is going to cause an expensive and dangerous mess. I have witnessed several driveshaft failures in vehicles driving ahead of me during my travels and I can tell you a 3' long front driveshaft can do a heck of a lot of damage as it whips around jamming into the road, whacking the transmission, and smashing the floor!

of most individual components as different constant velocity joints and slip joint combinations were used over the years. Many early production trucks will have a unique Saginaw type Double-Cardan Constant Velocity Joint that was not used (Split to notes here) on any other application. Except for the universal joints themselves, no component of these special Saginaw CV joints are compatible with the other CV joint which is based on a Spicer design. Both CV joint types are equally effective in reducing vibration. Of the two styles, the Saginaw type is usually cheaper to rebuild, especially when the CV ball lacks lubrication, but... if you end up needing any of the castings, the parts will be more expensive.

If your truck is lifted, you may have problems with the CV joint binding due to the increased driveshaft angles. The maximum allowable CV angle for the Spicer type CV is 13°. We have been unable to find a published maximum angle spec on the Saginaw type CV, however, experience has shown the maximum operating angle is probably no more than 12°. (Return to Top)

 

Plowing Montana Field
Like most places in the world, Montana has had it's share of poorly run agricultural operations. The cost of bringing neglected land back into crop production or reseeding it with native pasture grasses is astronomical, but no one who cares for their land can bear having the degradation continue once they acquire lands in poor condition. The John Deere 4440 is plowing an old hay field that was neglected to the point it was not even good pasture. In this case, the field was worked into a good seed bed, then planted with oats for two years to control weeds and finally reseeded to native grasses which will provide both excellent pasture for livestock and habitat for many species of wildlife. Keeping land in agricultural production is not only essential for feeding the globally expanding population, but the only economically viable way to keep urban sprawl from engulfing productive properties with a view.
