What is the Driveshaft all about?

The driveshaft transmits the power (torque) created by the engine to the front (front wheel-drive), rear (rear wheel-drive), or front and rear (four wheel-drive) of the vehicle as required. A 4WD vehicle may have two driveshafts.

Keep in mind:

  • A four wheel-drive vehicle may have two driveshafts, in which case you may only need one replaced.
  • A vehicle with modified height will run a greater risk of having a damaged driveshaft.
  • When your driveshaft is replaced, all other components should be checked for quality, and the U-joints should be properly lubricated.
  • In some vehicles, it is more straightforward and affordable to replace the entire driveshaft than to replace a single component.

How it's done:

  • Remove and replace drive shaft.
  • Perform basic safety inspection.
  • Test drive the vehicle.

Our recommendation:

When applicable, make sure all U-joints are lubricated during a major service. This will extend the life of your driveshaft.

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Driveshaft?

  • A clunking noise when you accelerate or shift between drive and reverse.
  • Vibration when driving.
  • Squeaking noise while driving.

How important is this service?

A driveshaft is responsible for transferring power from a vehicle’s transmission to its wheels. The driveshaft receives the torque from the transmission, and uses it to turn the wheels. As the driveshaft gets damaged, it doesn’t do its job as well, which puts undue pressure on other parts of the vehicle, which can cause damage. When the driveshaft ceases working entirely, the vehicle won’t be able to send power to the wheels, and you won’t be able to drive.

BMW 328i L4-2.0L Turbo - Oil Change - Las Vegas, Nevada
Richard came on time and did exactly as requested: oil change. It was great to have an "Uber for car maintenance and repair" mechanic come to your place. It was convenient and, because Richard did only what was needed, I saved money.

BMW X5 V8-4.4L - Radiator Hose Repair - Alameda, California
This is my fourth appointment for the same job - to check my service engine soon light and general cooling system. First appointment he did not have the parts and I understand and gave him a five star review. Second appointment, wrong part and missing some parts, he was able to remove everything but left he did not even put my oil, gave him another five star review. Third appointment was able to fix some parts but still left without finishing, I did not give him a review this time. This is his fourth and last appointment, he finally put my oil, he did a pressure test for the radiator and cooling system, reset my service engine soon light and left without drive test. At the end of the job I got a pair of bolt and nut and he said he found it at the bottom of my car. My plastic cover that covers the spark plugs was broken due to over-tigthening of the bolt and when I asked him why he said the washer portion was missing. He left my garage with leaked oil and coolant, I had to cover everything with newspaper and did the clean up myself.
