Drive Shaft

A drive shaft is a mechanical component that transmits rotational power from a vehicle's engine or transmission to the wheels. It is a metal shaft designed to rotate smoothly, transferring torque over distances within the vehicle. Drive shafts are essential in vehicles with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive systems, connecting the transmission to the differential on the axles. They are constructed to accommodate movement and flexing as the vehicle operates, ensuring efficient power delivery while handling the vehicle’s vibrations and road conditions. Overall, the drive shaft is a critical link enabling the vehicle to move forward effectively.
