What Causes Excessive Clearance Between the Driveshaft and Rear Axle?
1 Answers
This issue is caused by excessive clearance between the driving and driven bevel gears inside the main reducer. To resolve the problem, remove the main reducer located in the middle of the rear axle housing and adjust the clearance between the driving and driven bevel gears to 0.2-0.4 mm. Below is a detailed introduction to the driveshaft: 1. Introduction: The driveshaft is a high-speed rotating body with minimal support, making its dynamic balance crucial. For front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicles, it transmits the rotation from the transmission to the main reducer. It may consist of multiple sections connected by universal joints. 2. Composition: The driveshaft is composed of an axle tube, a telescopic sleeve, and universal joints. The telescopic sleeve automatically adjusts for changes in distance between the transmission and the drive axle. The universal joints ensure changes in the angle between the transmission output shaft and the drive axle input shaft while maintaining constant angular velocity transmission between the two shafts.
