 Driveshaft - Replacement Driveshaft
The driveshaft is responsible for delivering the power from the transmission to the axle, or the wheel itself.
With the universal joints, the driveshaft always is at the correct angles to the transmission and the rear differential to deliver the power consistently and without doing damage to any other parts.
