How much is a drive shaft for a 86 marquis

What has been done so far?

Did you go on a road test --you driving
& a mechanic along for a ride & then switch

Do that

Tire Weights fall off
Drive Shaft Joints bad or shaft installed wrong
Rear Shocks worn out
Loose/Worn Bearings
Bad Tire


Speed at the time of vibration on & off gas
tells you something

The oil pump shaft is driven by the distributor. If a broken piece of the oil pump shaft is still lodged in the distributor drive socket you may have to remove the distributor to remove the broken piece. Normally there is no retainer keeping the shaft inserted into the distributor drive socket. So when the oil pump is removed the shaft will typically slide, or fall out.

When you take off the drive shaft, I believe you will reveal the large nut that hold the tail piece on. It has a cotter pin. Remove the nut, and it will slide right out. Then you need a special puller that has fingers that press out ward, hook the bushing, and then extract it. But this could also be an actual bearing I suppose. After tapping the new one in, put in a new seal, and top up the gear oil that you lost when the old seal went out.

You will have to remove the transmission.that would include removing drive shaft ,possibly exhaust.

YOU COULD HAVE BROKEN SPEEDOMETER CABLE OR THE SPEEDOMETER DRIVE GEAR ON OUT PUT SHAFT IS BROKEN.

You'll have to take the door panel off and raise the window manually.

Hi,

No clamp, it sounds like it is just a bad seal.
Just remove the drive shaft and pry out the old one and tap in a new one. very easy on those cars. juts make sure you put some tran fluid on the rubber part of the seal before installing the drive shaft or it can tear it.

Hi there. If by gears you mean the splines on the end of the half shaft, you need to seperate the lower ball joint, if not done already, put the splines in the hub first and then hook the new bearing hub up to the lower control(ball joint) with the shaft already in place.

if the module is on the side of the distributer it takes a wrench made just for ford modules to remove 2 screws, if you need to replace the pickup in the dist. you have to remove the dist. out of the engine pull the gear off and pull the shaft out of the dist.

I was given an solution by emissionwiz from the fixya site.

Thanks,
