Axle Identification: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The axle ratio may be verified by checking the printed label on the axle housing. If worn or not visible, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be typed in the service parts ordering system or the Vehicle Certification (VC) label may be used to correctly identify the axle and ratio. The VC label is located in the driver door jamb. The first 2 digits of the axle code indicate the rear axle and the third digit refers to the front axle, if so equipped. For information on the VC label, refer to IDENTIFICATION CODES .
