What is Axle Shaft
Axle Shaft is a key component of the drivetrain, connecting the differential to the wheels and transmitting power to move the vehicle. It is designed to withstand the forces of acceleration, brake, and cornering, ensuring consistent wheel rotation. Axle Shaft plays a crucial role in maintaining vehicle stability and performance, absorbing some of the shocks from the road and contributing to a smooth driving experience.

The story of Axle Shaft
Axle Shaft has evolved with advancements in automotive engineering, becoming extra strong and efficient. Early designs were simple and prone to failure under high stress, but modern shafts are engineered to handle the demands of engines and rough terrains. The development of Axle Shaft reflects the industry's spotlight on improving vehicle reliability and performance through and quality materials.

How to install Axle Shaft
Installing Axle Shaft requires lifting the vehicle and removing the wheel and brake components to connect the shaft. Disconnect the shaft from the differential and wheel hub by removing the bolts or retaining clips. Install the new shaft by aligning it with the differential and wheel hub, securing it with the appropriate hardware. Reassemble the brake components and wheel, then assess the installation with a brief drive.
