Years ago, Kevin Maher dated his wife in a classic Dodge Challenger. Ten years ago, Maher, now retired and living in Rosemary Beach, Florida, was looking to get back into cars now that finances and ...

Driveshafts, or propshafts, and constant velocity (CV) joints are crucial to the proper and safe operation of a vehicle. They are necessary to move a car forward and make it turn. But what sort of ...

Degree, travel, and constant velocity might sound more like physics homework than 4x4 jargon, but don't be confused, for it's all basic terminology associated with your vehicles driveshaft.

Most CV joints feature six hardened steel balls, which ride in grooves in the inner race. PHOTO BY ROLAND NASASIRA Mechanically, the constant velocity (CV) joint transmits torque or power from the ...

A U-joint (the ‘U’ stands for ‘universal’), sometimes called a Cardan joint after the man who invented it, is a type of flexible coupling typically used on both ends of the drive shafts in rear-wheel ...

Driveline vibrations are easy to feel, but solving them can puzzle even the most methodical of knuckle-busters. Does your car have the highway vibes? Just sending your driveshaft out for a balance job ...

Universal joints allow drive shafts to move up and down with the suspension while the shaft is moving so power can be transmitted when the drive shaft isn’t in a straight line between the transmission ...

U-joints are simply awesome! Why? They allow rotational forces to be transmitted around corners. U-joints, Rezeppa-joints, Double Cardan-joints, and CV-joints all allow your driveshafts and axleshafts ...

Redesigned for the 2024 model year on the Tundra's TNGA-F platform, the Tacoma has been hit with a safety recall. Trucks equipped with 4WD feature front driveshaft CV joints that may deform and break, ...

When an engine produces power and clutch and transmission convert it into required torque, some assembly is needed to carry this torque to driving axle or usually to rear axle. This assembly is known ...

A drive axle is essentially a half axle, so named because it does half of the job, extending from a transaxle or differential to one of the wheels. Its twin on the other side completes the set.
