The Ford Mustang average ($261) runs 19% above its median ($220), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used drive shaft

  • Measure exact overall length from u-joint center to center, as wheelbase, transmission options, and cab or bed configurations change shaft dimensions dramatically.
  • Inspect slip yoke splines for twisting, excessive wear, or rust pitting, and check universal joint journals for binding or rough movement.
  • Check the tubular shaft body for denting, scraping, or missing balance weights, which cause severe driveline vibration at high speeds.
  • Verify carrier bearing cushion condition on two-piece drive shafts and confirm flange bolt pattern alignment at the differential yoke.
