We stock a complete line of driveshaft parts for Ford Excursion 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.

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