What are the symptoms of vibration caused by a half shaft?

[DiCaden]

The symptoms of vibration caused by a half shaft include: 1. Metal friction sounds or hard metal collision noises; 2. Abnormal noises when turning the steering wheel fully to the left or right; 3. Severe vibration during high-speed driving; 4. Obvious body shaking while the car is in motion. The half shaft is the component that transmits torque between the gearbox reducer and the drive wheels, with a universal joint at each end connecting to the reducer gear and the wheel hub bearing inner ring via splines on the universal joint. The half shaft transfers power between the differential and the drive wheels. In conventional non-disconnect drive axles, half shafts are categorized based on their outer end support types: full-floating, three-quarter floating, and semi-floating.
