As a driver or small business owner in a tough line of work, you're likely all too familiar with drive shaft repairs. If you're a newcomer to your commercial industry, a drive shaft is a rotating tube that delivers torque from your vehicle's transmission system to the differential. Drive shaft tubes transfer immense amounts of torque by twisting at high speeds so ensuring their strength and condition is of utmost importance.

There are a few classic symptoms that are associated with faulty drive shafts or damaged drive shaft U-joint connection points (U-joints most commonly found in rear-wheel-drive vehicles).

Strong vibration emanating from floor
Intensifying vibrations as vehicle gains speed
Squeaking, rattling, or clunking noises when the vehicle is in motion
Clear "play" or looseness in U joints when manually moving the driveshaft
Visible signs of damage or aging of U joint like rust around the yoke (a common issue with all the salt and snow on our New England roads)

Professional Driveshaft Service and Repairs at Rochester Truck

Your work vehicle works hard, and so do the components. The drive shaft in your vehicle is what transfers the power from your engine to the differential, which then keeps the wheels spinning. Whether you're towing, hauling a load, or having a crew riding along, your vehicle is working harder to move than a normal family vehicle or daily commuter car. That's why it's important to have your work truck or van regularly maintained to prevent an issue from turning into a problem. At Rochester Truck, we offer professional maintenance on commercial vehicles and serve drivers from all around New England. Learn more about the signs of an ailing driveshaft and how you should address it.

What Does the Drive Shaft Do?

The drive shaft has a few different names, including propeller or prop shaft. It’s the component that delivers the torque from the transmission to the differential, while is what spins your wheels. If there’s a problem with your driveshaft, your vehicle won’t move, and when driving a work vehicle that frequently tows or has large loads, your engine, transmission, and drive shaft are working harder to keep your vehicle performing the way you need it to.

What Are Signs of a Bad Drive Shaft?

Because the drive shaft is what keeps your vehicle moving, there’re a few key signs to diagnose a bad drive shaft. If your vehicle is shaking or you feel vibrations, it could mean that you have worn out u-joints, bad bearings, or other issues. Another symptom of a bad drive shaft is having difficulty turning or hearing load clunking noises when your vehicle shifts.
