Ford Kuga C482 Front Axle Driveshaft Right O/S 2.5 FHEV 2697144 LX67-3B436-MAC

Ford Kuga C482 Front Axle Driveshaft Right O/S 2.5 FHEV is an original drivetrain component designed for the FHEV hybrid version. Thanks to its factory-engineered Ford design, it ensures precise fitment to the hub and transmission, stable torque transfer, and predictable vehicle behavior during acceleration and engine braking.

Purpose and compatibility

The presented driveshaft is designed for the front axle on the right side of the Ford Kuga C482 generation with an FHEV powertrain. The vehicle placement is clearly defined as front – right side, which facilitates the selection of the correct component during drivetrain service. Its original Ford origin ensures that factory dimensional tolerances are maintained, providing the correct driveshaft length and proper interaction with the joints and wheel hub, without the need for modifications to other suspension or transmission components.

Technical characteristics of the driveshaft

The front axle driveshaft is responsible for transferring torque from the transmission to the right wheel while compensating for suspension movement and steering. The design, tailored for the FHEV version, accounts for the specific operating characteristics of the hybrid system, including frequent load changes and regenerative braking operation. Key functional features of this component include:

• stable torque transfer across the full operating range of the drivetrain,
• geometry designed for the Ford Kuga to work with the factory suspension,
• maintenance of proper alignment and minimization of vibrations during driving,
• compatibility with factory joints and transmission seals. As a result, the driveshaft supports smooth acceleration and predictable vehicle handling, which is important for both daily use and dynamic driving.

Condition and service application

The offered driveshaft comes from the Driveshafts group and is a used component, making it an attractive cost-effective alternative to new parts while maintaining the factory design. This type of component is particularly recommended for:

• damage to the right-side joint (knocking during turns, vibrations during acceleration),
• excessive play in the front axle drivetrain,
• the need for replacement after a collision or mechanical damage. Using an original driveshaft allows you to maintain the integrity of the entire drivetrain and reduce the risk of issues with suspension geometry or leaks around the transmission.

Technical support and selection of drivetrain components

When working with the drivetrain – especially in hybrid vehicles – it is worth paying attention to the condition of the clutch, dual-mass flywheel, and other components interacting with the half-shafts. For more information on diagnostics and the selection of drivetrain components, you can use the advice provided in the article Clutch and dual-mass flywheel – diagnostics and selection of drivetrain parts, where practical examples and typical signs of wear are discussed. If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the drivetrain area in your Ford and need other elements from the same group, such as half-shafts, joints, or components connecting the transmission to the wheels, check the available parts in the Ford Driveshafts category.
