Products - DRIVE SHAFT 2

Function

Drive shafts transmit power from the engine and transmission to the wheels, enabling the vehicle to move. Two-piece design: In a two-piece drive shaft, two shorter shafts are connected by a center support bearing. This design is beneficial for longer vehicles where a single shaft might be too long or prone to bending or vibration. Benefits: Reduced vibration

The center support bearing helps to dampen vibrations and maintain a smoother ride. Improved suspension travel: The two-piece design allows for better articulation of the suspension, accommodating movement without putting excessive stress on the drive shaft. Suitability for longer vehicles: This design is particularly useful in vehicles with long wheelbases or extended cabs. Components: A typical two-piece drive shaft includes: Shaft: The primary component that transmits torque. Universal joints (U-joints): Allow the shaft to flex and accommodate changes in angle as the suspension moves. Center support bearing: Provides support and reduces vibration. Flanges: Connect the drive shaft to the transmission and differential.
