Axle & Propeller Shaft
Axle & Shaft is a mechanical part that translates the torque generated by a vehicle's engine into usable motive force to propel the vehicle. Axle & Shaft can be divided into propeller shaft, Rear Axle and Front Axle. The propeller shaft deliver power from an engine/transmission to the other end of the vehicle before it goes to the wheels. It is used on front engine rear wheel drive and most 4 wheel drive vehicles it couples the transmission with the rear differential. There is also a pair of shorter drive shafts often used to carry torque from a transaxle to the wheels. It is used in all kinds of vehicles and the number of half shafts varied with the drive mode.
