SSM 50443   2019-2022 Ford Ranger – Rear Driveshaft Yokes Appear Out Of Alignment/Phase

2019-2022 Ford Ranger vehicles equipped with a 2-piece driveshaft that has a slip yoke in the rear driveshaft will appear to have the front and rear yokes out of phase by about 15 degrees. This is a normal appearance and considered design intent for noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) purposes and no repairs should be attempted for this condition. Do not submit a warranty claim for this condition.

    As a Ford Ranger enthusiast who enjoys modifying my Ford Rangers for off-road use, I quickly discovered that there wasn’t any websites dedicated to the subject. So in 1999, I created TheRangerStation.com. What started as my own personal desire to help other Ford Ranger owners, has grown into a wealth of online information from numerous contributors. 20-years later, my commitment to the Ford Ranger, and the Ford Ranger community, is as strong as ever.
