Product Information

The main shaft of the drive shaft unit is just a bar of metal, and as such is pretty robust. The only way this bit fails is if it’s damaged, or if the rust is allowed to eat it away.

A car's drive shafts are vital components. Your engine and gearbox are the dream team, but if all their good work can’t get to the wheels, it’s all in vain.You MUST NOT use any kind of wedge, or you will ruin the diff side cover, and possibly the diff casing, which is matched to the main transmission case, so you could end up needing a new tansmission case and a full strip and rebuild, just because you used a wedge.

Each end of the drive shaft has a splined input piece. It is these splines that allow the drive shaft to be acted upon by the gearbox, while at the other end, they allow the shaft to act on the wheel/hub, thus delivering power. The most common issue is at the hub/wheel end. If the car has to have any work done that involves taking the hub off, so suspension work, a new wheel bearing, that kind of thing, if the hub isn’t fitted correctly, it can damage the splines.
