The drive shaft plays a crucial role in the vehicle’s powertrain, carrying engine torque from the transmission/differential out to the wheels. Its integral CV joints allow for:
• Smooth transfer of power, even at varying suspension angles
• Maintained traction and stability under acceleration and load
• Articulation with suspension movement without binding or vibration

Function:
•  Transfers engine torque from differential to the driven wheels
•  Accommodates suspension and wheel articulation through CV joints
•  Helps maintain smooth rotation and traction under load
•  Supports balanced handling and ride comfort.

The CV (constant-velocity) joints located at each end allow the shaft to operate at changing angles without significant friction or power loss, which is essential for independent suspension designs and high-performance driving.

Drive shafts and their CV joints operate under significant torque and load. Over time, wear can cause noise (especially clicking under turn), vibration, or reduced driving smoothness.

Replace the drive shaft assembly if you notice:
•  Clicking or popping noises when turning
•  Vibration under acceleration
•  Grease leakage from torn or worn CV boots
•  Excessive movement at the axle joint
•  During differential, suspension, or CV joint service
