Control Shaft – Ford (jl1z16a506b)

This is a control shaft from FORD, factory part number jl1z16a506b. It is catalogued under Shafts & Drivetrain > Shafts.

• Power deployable, 131.6 wheelbase 131.5 wheelbase
• Spline couplings need the correct grease. A dry spline will wear a step into the shaft and cause a clunk on take-up.
• Half shafts on independent suspension are handed, and fitting one to the wrong side usually fouls on full lock.

Balancing matters as much as fit, so a shaft reassembled with the yokes out of phase will vibrate at speed even though every bolt lines up.

Confirm the number before you order, because a near match will bolt on and still be wrong. Send the VIN if the old marking has gone. Leaves our US warehouse in one to two business days, and shipping is free over $59.
