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.

Pontiac Vibe L4-1.8L - Valve Cover Gasket - Marietta, Georgia
What can I say? Robert was phenomenal! His diagnostic skills in determining my cars problem for a pesky "check engine light" were spot on! Robert was punctual, professional and intelligent in terms of his breadth of knowledge concerning automotive mechanics. He was a delight to work with and seemed to intrinsically know what the problem was with my car. Rob worked on my car by the the glare of his worklight and an overhead streetlamp. Rain threatened, but Rob was determined to complete the task at hand. Not only does he work quickly and accurately, but he also provides a wealth of automotive information to a greenhorn novice as myself regarding my 2004 Vibe. Other options were presented if my vehicle did not pass inspection, Which I was grateful for, but I'm happy to say that today, my vehicle passed emission testing with "shining colors!" It is true that a good mechanic is "worth his weight in gold". With that being said, Rob is certainly the "gold standard" as far as an amicable, competent mechanic is concerned. I was utterly amazed and very much pleased with his outstanding candor, professionalism, and experience. I will call on him again. that indeed is the greatest compliment one can give. Thanks Rob!
