Understanding Axles and Drive Shafts
The axle is a vital component that transfers power from the transmission to the wheels, supporting the vehicle’s weight and facilitating motion. The drive shaft, a cylindrical component connecting the transmission to the differential, ensures the smooth transmission of torque to the drive wheels. Over time, these parts can wear out or become damaged, leading to compromised vehicle performance and safety.
Signs Your Vehicle May Need Axle or Drive Shaft Attention
Unusual Noises: Clunking, clicking, or squeaking sounds, especially during acceleration or turning, may indicate issues with the CV joints or drive shaft.
Vibrations: Excessive vibrations while driving can be a sign of a damaged drive shaft or axle.
Grease Leakage: Visible grease on the inside edges of tires can suggest a torn CV boot, leading to joint contamination.
Turning Difficulties: Experiencing resistance or unusual sensations while steering could point to axle or drive shaft problems.
