it fit just right, even the threads were right for my old lugs , though it did come with a new set. it also came with a koyo real axle bearing and seal, so decent bearing.. the only thing i wasnt thrilled with was the abs ring, the old oem one was better stamped and a little thicker metal, however it did include instructions on how to pry it off and put the oem one on , so they knew you would want to... all and all im very happy with it, it fit right into place with no issues at all with my 8.8 diff

Axel did not fit my husband’s car. Even though he tripped check and selected the correct one. The axel was 2 inches too short. Had to send back. Received refund and shipping back was free.

I got these axles for my 2000 Lincoln Town Car (same platform as Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis) and they fit perfectly. You see, there is problem. Currently installed BOSCH or stock rear ABS sensors may not pick up the ABS tone ring on these axles. This will cause the ABS to freak out. This includes farting and violently rumbling of the brake pedal and ABS and Brake lights turning on eventually. Dorman says their products are “designed to rigorous standards and tested to ensure performance”. Unfortunately I noticed that means they test their products on their own other products. I refused to do the axles replacement job once more as it is rigorous, so I theorized that Dorman rear ABS sensors will pick up their ABS tone ring on their Dorman Axles. It did, the problem went away once I put in the new ABS sensors from the same company (shady isn’t it). That job was a lot of work on its own right. It costed me my time, my money and my patience. A lot of other people seemed to have this problem too. Good price for the axles though, if you’re doing ABS sensors and axles this problem of some of this companies customers may not affect you. It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to purchase these axles and use your old ABS tone ring if you still have them. Thank you.

If you're hearing a growl or buzzing noise at 40 mph and above, and the tone varies with vehicle speed, not engine speed, then it's probably coming from a rear wheel bearing. The bearings themselves are inexpensive; however, they have no inner race. Instead, the rollers ride directly on a machined portion of the axle, so if the surface of the axle is damaged, you'll need to replace it. (Yes, I'm aware of the availability of "repair bearings" that are offset to ride on a different part of the axle shaft. I have no idea if they're any good or not. I prefer to repair to OEM conditions.)The trick is that you just can't know whether you need a new axle (or two) until you get them out and inspect them. Fortunately, next-day shipping with Amazon Prime is available at reasonable cost, so you can disassemble on day 1 and reassemble on day 2.My Grand Marquis started making the buzzing noise at about 150,000 miles, and it was caused by galling on both the bearing and the axle on the right-hand side. (Judging from comments on the web, it always seems to be the right-hand side. Don't ask me why.) Replacing the axle with this Dorman kit was a no-brainer: it's priced right, the anti-lock sensor ring is pre-installed, and it comes with a new bearing and seal. I ordered the axle, then reassembled the left side (with a new bearing and seal, of course) while waiting for its arrival. My car is now back to its original "stealth" level of quiet.If you're a skilled DIY mechanic, you shouldn't find this job too daunting, even if you've never pulled an axle before. HAVE A SHOP MANUAL with correct torque values ready at hand. STUDY the procedures and photos available on the web (search "rear axle seals and bearings" "lots of pics" "F150" for a great article). BE ABSOLUTELY SAFE when jacking and supporting the rear of the vehicle, and chock the front wheels firmly!Other tips: You WILL need a SIX-point, 5/16", 3/8"-drive socket to remove the differential cross-shaft pin. Buy one now, before you start! Trust me! DO NOT buy gear oil until you look at any metal tags bolted to the differential cover. The shop manual insists that my open differential wants 80W90, but when the tag reads "75W140 SYNTH ONLY," I don't argue. Gear oil STINKS, and the smell lingers a long time. Wear latex gloves and work outdoors if possible.Have fun!

Perfect fit for 2000 Crown Vic, with 3.55 limited slip differential. came with abs ring, bearings and seal, and 5 lug nuts. I installed it on one side only, the other axle was still good after inspecting, replaced both wheel bearings and seals though. Car drives great now, no more groaning noise or vibration, bad wheel bearings damaged the one axle, had deep grooves on axle. Make sure spider gears don't fall out as they did on me, It was a task putting them back on.

The inside ends of my axle shafts were worn, so I purchased (2) shafts from Dorman. The price was right, about one third the cost of Ford. They also come with a lifetime warranty. You will have to purchase the u-washer and o-ring separately from a dealer if they are worn; which is what I had to do. I also had to purchase a slide hammer with a bearing puller attachment to remove the pressed in wheel bearings. Installed them with no problem, except on the L.S. where it went in slightly tight. There is also no lateral free play on the L.S. at least by hand. I think the splines were not machined correctly. The lateral end play still seems a bit excessive on the R.S., about 1/4". I had no issues when driving, or with any leaks. You might have to reuse the old lug nuts if you have a center cap that mounts on them. I also later found out that the strange howling I would hear from the rear end on sharp turns was due to the oil I recently changed. I switched to a synthetic 75w90 which is the right weight, but it caused a howling noise on tight turns. When I switched back to non-synthetic 80w90 the noise was gone. Hope this helps.
