Why do I have a unicorn CV axle on my 2007 ford focus?

I'm trying to replace my cv axles, I got them from the parts store, took the car apart, removed the passenger side axle, and the part in the box was way too short. I went back to the parts store assuming they had given me the wrong one. They showed me in the computer the axle for the 2007 ford focus with manual trans should be shorter and the one for the automatic is longer like mine is, but mine has a carrier bearing 1/3 of the way down the shaft that is pressed onto it and has no provisions for removal, and the one for the automatic has no such bearing. 3 different parts stores showed the same thing, we even looked at different years and models of focus but there were none like the one I took off my car. The carrier bearing attaches to the engine block with three bolts.

I would assume there was more than one transmission available, and they used different axles.
I would ask the dealer or go with the part number on the axle itself.

  • Why would all of a sudden the engine light come on 2007 ford focus? Drove the car about 2miles and parked it for a couple of hours and when I started it back up the engine light came on and didn't go out and it has never done that before and I checked the gas cap

  • I have a 1994 ford f150 XLT supercab with a v8 5.0. It needs a rear axle? I have a 1994 ford f150 XLT supercab with a v8 5.0. It needs a rear axle. On the door It says "Axle 19" and thats the 3.55 ratio axle. But I can't find the actual axle or a picture of the axle online. I got a photo of the differential cover but can't find the same axle online. Does anyone know what the name of the axle might be. Or have any tips on how I could find it online easier
  • 2007 Ford Expedition vs 2007 Chevy Tahoe vs 2004 Lincoln Navigator? I wanted to get one of these due for the 4 wheel drive in the winter. I live in Boston, so it gets rough. I wanted to get one of these three. And I don't know which one is better. I test drove a 2007 Tahoe, and loved it. Although I never drove an Expedition nor Navigator. (although I drive a Lincoln Continental, so I might understand lincolns performance in a navigator). If anyone has one of these, which one would be better?
