Title: Hybrid Transit front drive shaft lubrication
Issue: The XL hybrid 130” wheel base Transit front drive shaft contains two double Carden universal joints. These joints contain a discreet flush mounted grease fitting that was not referenced in the XL owner’s manual. Greasing this fitting immediately, and then every 6000 miles (or regular service interval) is imperative for the longevity of the ball and socket joint. Typically a failure of this joint would be preceded by substantial noise or vibration. Driver feedback will be critical in early detection of a joint that is not properly lubricated.
Applies To: All XL Hybrid 130” wheel base Transits.
Safety: Normal safety precautions and PPE should be used.
Special Tools Required: Needle grease fitting
Parts Required: lithium complex soap type extreme pressure grease with an NLG1 grade2
Service Procedure:
1. Raise vehicle on suitable hoist, or jack vehicle and place on stands. Place vehicle in neutral.
2. Rotate drive shaft to locate and gain access to flush mount grease fittings. Using needle style grease tip, lubricate ball and socket joint. (See figure 1)
3. Repeat for rear joint.
