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 G6 V6-3.5L - Car is not starting - Rockville, Maryland
I wish I had known about this service before putting in so much work and time to make my baby girl (2006 G6) run longer. When he arrived (made good time in DC traffic during rush hour), Dellano assessed the situation and began problem solving right away. He was patient and straightforward. He tested, ruled out, and tested again what was causing my car not to start. I have been to independent mechanics to franchise mechanics who seem to want to get the car in and out as quickly as possible or who want to show me an expensive repair bill. However, with Dellano, he took his time to get to a solution. Although he couldn't fix my issue on the spot, I feel more empowered by taking my car to the dealership and requesting a specific service.
