Diagram ref no 1

The drive shaft transfers engine torque from the transmission or differential to the wheel hub, enabling the driven wheels to propel the vehicle. The integrated CV joints allow the shaft to operate smoothly at varying angles as the suspension compresses and rebounds, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery during acceleration, cornering, and uneven road surfaces.

Function:
• Transfers rotational force from the drivetrain to the wheel
•  Allows suspension articulation via constant-velocity joints
•  Maintains smooth, low-vibration power delivery
•  Supports traction, stability, and refined driving dynamics

Drive shafts operate under continuous torque, rotational load, and suspension movement. Over time, CV joints and boots can wear, leading to noise, vibration, grease leakage, and uneven power delivery. Replacing a worn axle with an OE Match assembly restores smooth drivetrain operation and helps prevent secondary wear to wheel bearings, differentials, and suspension components.

When to replace :
•  Clicking or knocking noises during turning or acceleration
•  Vibration or shudder under load
•  Torn or leaking CV boots
•  Excessive play found during inspection
•  During suspension, hub, or drivetrain service where wear is identified
