How to Determine if the Drive Shaft Has Problems?
1 Answers
Methods to determine if the drive shaft has problems include: 1. Hearing a clunking sound or feeling mechanical looseness when starting the car or accelerating sharply; 2. A buzzing sound from the chassis while driving, which becomes louder as the speed increases; 3. A knocking sound from the drive shaft when starting the car or shifting gears during driving; 4. Increased noise accompanied by vibrations at higher speeds, with the driver feeling numbness in the hands holding the steering wheel. The drive shaft is a high-speed, minimally supported rotating component that works with the transmission and drive axle to transfer the engine's power to the wheels, generating driving force for the car.
