Driveshaft / Axle
A driveshaft (a.k.a. a prop-shaft or propeller
shaft) usually is a long shaft that runs from the transmission to the
differential. At the ends of the driveshaft is a rubber flex disc / flex
coupling, and in the center is a u-joint or a carrier bearing / carrier
bearing center support. The driveshaft delivers to rotational power of the
engine to the transmission - differential and then to the transaxle (aka. an
axle shaft or half shaft) which turn the rear wheels on a rear wheel drive
vehicle. On Four Wheel Drive (F.W.D.) vehicles or a.k.a. All Wheel Drive (A.W.D.)
the engine and axles are separated from each other, and the engine in
conjunction with the vehicles longer driveshaft is used to send power to
the vehicles front and rear axles. The slip in tube driveshaft, also known as
a collapsible driveshaft, is the new type of driveshaft which would compress
if a vehicle were involved in a collision. At this time we do not stock
driveshafts. We do stock the more common replacement, wear and trear items
such as a flex disc, carrier bearing, carrier support, left and right axle
shaft for all makes and models which include - Asian and European models -
Mercedes Benz, BMW, Volvo, Audi Volkswagen Toyota and more.
