Hmmmm, yard near here wants $450 for one with 115K. OUCH!
Center shaft is only $24 at Ford dealer! And I already have a new "infamous lock pin". If I just could get the old one OUT!
Have to admit... sure would be easier fix to drop out whole axle and replace.

Also...plot thickens.....
apparently all 92-95 E150 had rear ABS (according to manual I have) and some 95 had 4WABS. There is, in fact, an electrical connector on the front of the diff housing. Had assumed that was VSS, but on checking manual, it states VSS is located at rear of trans.

If this is indeed RABS, why do I see 'non-ABS' rear ends for E150 in these years listed for sale? Does this just mean 'not 4WABS' or is manual incorrect? If I read correctly, there is no difference in the rear ends ...both RABS and 4W ABS have a single rear axle sensor and sensor ring. The difference is in the anti-lock control module, the hydraulic control unit (only 4W), the ABS relay (only 4W), and the front wheel sensors (only 4W).

Go figure........
