1 Answers
Drive shaft abnormal noise causes are: 1. Wear of the spline teeth connecting the transmission output shaft and drive shaft, resulting in excessive clearance; 2. Wear and looseness of the drive shaft universal joint bearings; 3. Loss of dynamic balance weights on the drive shaft or unqualified dynamic balance of the drive shaft; 4. Failure to periodically apply grease. The function of the drive shaft is: Together with the transmission and drive axle, it transmits the engine's power to the wheels, generating driving force for the vehicle. The hazards of drive shaft damage are: 1. Occasional momentary pauses in the rotation of gears on the shaft; 2. Eccentric rotation and wobble of pulleys on the shaft; 3. Periodic meshing and rotation noise from gears on the shaft; 4. Reduction in diameter at the shaft's fitting area with rolling bearings.
