Ford Edge AWD Rear Differential Coupling CV6Z-4A232-A

This is the rear differential coupling for Ford's AWD crossover platform, replacing Ford part number CV6Z-4A232-A. The main application is the 2013-2022 Ford Edge AWD. The same OE number is listed for AWD versions of the 2013-2019 Escape and Flex, 2013-2019 Fusion, 2018-2022 EcoSport, and Lincoln MKZ, MKX, MKT, MKC, Continental and 2019 Nautilus. Always match the CV6Z-4A232-A number to the unit on your vehicle before ordering.

A failing coupling on these vehicles tends to cause rear-end drag or binding in tight turns, a shudder or hop at low speed, a thud from the rear, or loss of rear engagement on wet and icy roads. Rule out mismatched tire sizes and worn tires first, since uneven tread wear alone can make an AWD system bind.

It comes pre-assembled with the sealing flange and rubber gaskets and bolts on with no drilling or modification. Support the rear drive unit, disconnect the driveshaft at the coupling, unbolt the old coupling, clean the mounting face, fit the new unit with its gaskets, and reinstall the driveshaft. Check the rear drive unit fluid level when you finish.
