Sounds are everywhere, and you have two cool parts on your body that let you hear them all: your ears! Your ears are in charge of collecting sounds, processing them, and sending sound signals to your brain.
Still the classic, rear drive was basically the only drivetrain system for many years. A longitudinally mounted engine, with the transmission bolted directly to it, sends power via a driveshaft to a differential unit at the rear axle. The differential turns the power 90Â° and sends it to the rear wheels.
Driveshafts transfer power from the transmission to an axle assembly. They usually consist of hollow steel tubes with flanges welded at each end to mount U-joints. The U-joints have bearings and attach to yokes at the transmission and axle, to allow the driveshaft to articulate as the axle moves up and down with the suspension. Clunking or squeaking noise may indicate a worn joint, so install one of our quality replacements to avoid complete failure.
