What are the effects of a broken driveshaft?
1 Answers
The effects of a broken driveshaft are: 1. A clunking sound or loose mechanical parts during startup or rapid acceleration; 2. A buzzing noise from the chassis while driving, with the sound increasing as the speed rises; 3. A knocking sound from the driveshaft when shifting gears during startup or driving; 4. Steering wheel vibration, causing a numb sensation in the driver's hands. The driveshaft consists of a shaft tube, telescopic sleeve, and universal joint, and its function is to transmit the engine's power to the wheels together with the transmission and drive axle, generating driving force for the vehicle. The maintenance methods for the driveshaft include: 1. Avoid starting in high gear; 2. Avoid abruptly releasing the clutch pedal; 3. Avoid overloading or overspeeding the vehicle.
