ok, read the article, missed the part about hybrids using unique axles. could you copy and paste that part?

"While Ford utilizes a number of Dana components in a number of it's vehicles, it's worth pointing out that the automaker is seemingly bringing it's hybrid drive line tech in house"

In other words, Dana axles in lots of Fords, but in house drive line means Ford is making the axles for hybrids...

At least that's how I understand the article-

Actually the tech they brought in house is the new more powerful electric motor. which required a different transmission case that doesn't yet support AWD.
I think you're reading between the lines in this case.

"the automaker is seemingly bringing its hybrid driveline tech in-house, as is the case with the Maverick Hybrid, which is only currently available in front-wheel drive configuration. The Maverick Hybrid utilizes the first electric motor developed and built by Ford in-house, which could be a sign of things to come."

Seemed to me the subject was Dana axles and differentials being used in several Ford models EXCEPT for hybrids, and also mentioned the electric motor-

If Ford isn't making the hybrid axles in house, then I wonder who's manufacturing what seems to be the weakest link in the hybrid drive line???

Maybe the electric motor insta torque is too much for those axles regardless of who makes them.

the "mention" of the electric motor is the only mention of anything built by Ford in-house

I expect Dana builds the axles

This half shaft is for Ecoboost only-



Can't find anything new for hybrids axles...

What is the weakest link in the hybrid?

And how do YOU know?

Show proof. Give documentation please.

Thank you.

No. The torque is mild and very carefully controlled. And yes, I've measured it. At least monitored what a computer says the torque is. I didn't put my hands on it.

FYI - YOU are allowed to edit the title of a thread you started.

Give it a try.

Maybe "Here's an article about axles" is more fitting?

From my observations here, seems like CV axles go bad way too often compared to the other hybrid drive line components-

@GPSMan

BEWARE

My opinions posted here are just that...

If you have a different opinion (gospel no doubt)
post it-

Otherwise, just move along...

Try blowing it out of your chingus-

I'd like to hear about it. With supporting evidence. Thanks.

Why don't you look through the "Issues" area, and figure it out yourself...
