Spprtmechanic Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 I had my 2010 Ford Edge taken to a Ford Dealer for an oil change. While changing the oil the tech noticed a problem with the drive shaft, the center bearing is shot. They pointed this out to me and allowed me to take a picture of the sticker on the drive shaft. Reviewing some videos this seems like an easy thing to do. So I got a quote from the dealer for a replacement that would cost $1800 (and only 1 left). Unfortunately this where the fun begins and my question arises. The part number I was given (DT4Z-4R602-A) does not match the part number (9T43-4K145-AA) that is on the current drive shaft (pic attached). Researching also being up part number 9T4Z-4R602-A, which appears to be a superseded by DT4Z. So if anyone has replaced their drive shaft on a 2008-2010 Ford Edge, do you know what part number you used? Also which brand did you pick?

Haz Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 Entering your pictured Driveshaft part number into Ford's parts-selling website yields the Service part number your dealer cited... Link to this FordParts webpage From the 2010 Edge Workshop Manual, below, with Driveshaft replacement procedure attached as PDF document... Good luck! Driveshaft NOTE: All driveshaft assemblies are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft to prevent overspray of any undercoating material. The driveshaft assembly consists of the following: Rubber isolated center support bearings CV joint at the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) U-joints at the center support and pinion flange Assembly balanced with traditional balance weights Lubed-for-life joints requiring no periodic lubrication The driveshaft transfers torque from the PTU to the rear axle. It is attached to the PTU flange with a CV joint. The driveshaft is connected by a staked U-joint at the center bearing and attached to the rear pinion flange. The driveshaft joints allow the smooth continuous rotation of the driveshaft through the allowable angle planes and length variations required in normal vehicle operation. The driveshaft is always turning at front wheel speed. The driveshaft is not serviceable. A new driveshaft must be installed if worn or damaged.
