There can be no smoke without fire! Similarly, there are a few common signs that indicate that you may have a driveshaft problem, and it's better to consider driveshaft replacement when you witness them. These signs are:
A clanking noise when you accelerate or shift between drive and reverse
Squeaking noise while you are driving normally
Constant vibration while driving normally
More about Driveshaft Malfunctioning
In order to understand driveshaft malfunctioning, you have to learn about the driveshaft. The driveshaft is a device that transmits the power generated by your vehicle’s engine to the front, rear, or front and rear of the vehicle. When power is supplied only to the two front wheels, the vehicle is called two-wheel drives, and four-wheel drives sometimes have two driveshafts.
As a driveshaft gets damaged, it underperforms and puts unnecessary pressure on other parts of your automobile, which can cause significant damage. If the driveshaft stops working entirely, there won’t be any power being supplied to the wheels, and you will not be able to drive at all.
Driveshaft Repair and Replacements
There are a few things you should keep in mind about driveshafts and driveshaft replacement, such as:
A vehicle with a modified height is at a greater risk of driveshaft damage.
A four-wheel-drive vehicle may have two driveshafts instead of one, so it may only be necessary to replace one instead of both.
When you get your driveshaft replaced, you should make sure to have all other components checked for damage, and you should also make sure the U-joints are properly lubricated.
For some vehicles, it is more affordable and easier to simply replace the entire driveshaft rather than replacing a single component.
We have the experience and skills that are necessary to successfully and responsibly replace your vehicle’s damaged driveshaft. We make it our goal to work quickly and efficiently, so you don't have to suffer significant downtime.
