Can You Continue Driving with a Broken Drive Shaft?

[DelBethany]

A broken drive shaft cannot be driven further, as it will only exacerbate the damage to the vehicle. Below is relevant information about axles: Introduction: Axles are primarily used in cargo trucks, military vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, or large buses. The axle is connected to the frame (or load-bearing body) through the suspension, with wheels installed at both ends. Classification by axle count: single axle, tandem axle, front four rear four, front four rear eight, and beyond that, semi-trailers, two-axle trailers with three axles, or three-axle trailers with three axles. Ordinary passenger cars typically use a single axle. For highway transport vehicles with a total mass under 19t and vehicles not restricted by road or bridge axle loads, such as mining dump trucks, a simple and cost-effective two-axle configuration is adopted. Vehicles with a total mass between 19-26t use a three-axle configuration. Function: The axle's role is to bear the vehicle's load and ensure normal operation on the road.
