Application: 2020 - up Ford Explorer ST 3.0L TT AWD

Overview:

Designed for strength, precision, and performance, our 1350 Series Carbon Fiber Slip Shaft is built to handle the power of the twin-turbo Explorer ST. Each unit is crafted with 3” ID x .155” wall carbon fiber tubing (3.31" OD), a 2024 aluminum bondable yoke and spline sleeve assembly, SONNAX 3 bolt adapter flange and NEAPCO 1350 Performance Series solid cross, non-greaseable U-joints.

Every driveshaft is high-speed balanced on our Coetz Balancer, and includes a printed balance verification sheet with your order. We also torque-test every carbon fiber assembly in-house, ensuring a secure bond and reliable performance under high-torque conditions. We’re proud to be one of only three U.S. shops performing in-house torque testing on every carbon fiber driveshaft we build.

Key Features

Direct Fitment – Bolts directly to OEM transmission flange and end yoke slips on to differential spline.
Proprietary End Yoke - Custom designed 1350 series pinion end yoke with u-bolts included.
No Adapters Needed/Rubber coupler delete – Built with precision SONNAX aluminum adapter flange with hardware on transmission end for true plug-and-play installation.
Premium Carbon Fiber Construction – 14 layers of multi-directional weave provide exceptional strength and torsional rigidity.
Lightweight 2024 Aluminum Components – Stronger and more durable than traditional 6061 aluminum.
NEAPCO Performance 1350 series U-Joints – Performance-grade, solid cross, non-greaseable design for maximum reliability. Specifically engineered for racing.
High-Speed Balanced & Torque-Tested In House – Ensures smooth operation and proven durability under load.

Installation & Care

Removal of OEM driveshaft requires a special tool. CV removal from rear end spline will be challenging. Installation of end yoke requires a simple tool such as rubber mallet to tap yoke onto spline lock ring on rear differential.
Remove transmission end rubber/guibo coupler. This is a direct bolt in flange yoke with no additional adapter needed (includes hardware).
We highly recommend having a reputable race shop/garage remove and replace this driveshaft
Maintain a minimum clearance around the driveshaft tunnel, exhaust, and gas tank shield to prevent contact or rubbing.
Avoid exposing bonded areas to continuous heat above 300°F. Use proper heat shielding or insulation where necessary.
Failures caused by heat exposure or clearance interference are not covered under warranty.

Component Availability

Due to ongoing supply chain fluctuations, equivalent high-quality components may occasionally be substituted. We’ll notify you before shipping and always use only premium-grade materials that meet or exceed our performance standards.
