Is it possible that this axle is for a Zetec? The part number on my invoice is correct according to their website. Thanks 1998 T-Red SVT Contour #2588 of 6535 2005 F-150

Some are the same, some after different. Depends on which side, and wether it's manual or auto. Drivers side manuals share the same part, but auto does not.
