Like all Yukon 1541H replacement axles, YA F880038 provides improved strength and fatigue life over standard 1040 carbon steel replacements. The shaft comes with the ABS reluctor ring already integrated for a direct-fit replacement that maintains proper ABS function. YA F880038 is the left rear shaft counterpart to the right shaft YA F880039, and both should be replaced together when addressing a worn or broken axle

axle affect my factory warranty?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnder the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, the manufacturer must prove the aftermarket part caused the specific failure before denying warranty coverage. Installing a stronger axle shaft does not automatically void your warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs YA F880038 the left or right axle shaft?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYA F880038 is the left (driver side) rear axle shaft. The right (passenger side) counterpart is YA F880039. Order both for a complete left-right set replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this shaft include the ABS reluctor ring?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. YA F880038 comes with the ABS tone ring already installed, matching the factory specification for all ABS-equipped Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, and Town Car models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat year range does YA F880038 cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYA F880038 fits 2003 and newer Ford 8.8 inch equipped Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car models with ABS. Earlier Crown Victoria models used a different shaft configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the Crown Victoria break axle shafts?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPolice Interceptor models and high-mileage Crown Victorias are prone to axle shaft fatigue at the spline area due to the hard cornering, heavy braking, and continuous high-speed use inherent to police duty cycles. Yukon 1541H shafts resist this fatigue far better than economy replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs YA F880038 compatible with aftermarket performance rear differential upgrades?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The 1541H shaft is compatible with all open, limited-slip, and locker differentials used in the Ford 8.8 inch housing as found in Crown Victoria applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat differential fluid should I use in a Crown Victoria 8.8 inch axle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFord recommends 75W-140 full synthetic gear oil for the 8.8 inch rear differential in these applications.
