Drive Shafts

The drive shaft is an important piece of the vehicle's mechanical system and is used to transfer rotation and torque from the transmission to the rear differential. OEM driveshafts are usually made out of iron or aluminum, and are a sturdy part that can last a long time. However, over time, mechanical damage or vibrations can cause wear. When driving a vehicle with drive shaft problems, some of the symptoms of a bad or failing drive shaft include strong vibrations coming from underneath the vehicle, unusual noises, crackling, bumping, or grinding noises while turning, and issues when accelerating. These are all signs that should never be ignored, otherwise the health of the vehicle can be at risk. A bad drive shaft can result in vibrations when driving, but it can also prevent your vehicle from moving altogether. Changing the driveshaft and replacing it with a quality part is important for you to remain in control on the road.
