Driveshaft Balance
The driveshaft, which is located between your vehicle’s differentials, is responsible for transferring torque and rotation to the drive wheels and other drivetrain components. The driveshaft is tubular with an outer metal housing and an inner metal cylinder that spins at a rotational force determined by engine output. Essentially, the driveshaft tells the wheels to switch from idle to drive. Designed to endure sheer stress and torsion, driveshafts apply forces of motion without adding additional weight or stress to other drivetrain components.
Driveshaft components like CV joints, U-joints, and yokes accommodate axial movement and allow for variation in driveline angles and distances between components. Like tires, your driveshaft should be balanced to promote safe operation and prevent failure. We invite you to give us a call or visit when you’re ready to balance your driveshaft.
Why Should You Have Driveshaft Balance Services Performed at County Tire Center, Inc?
Balancing the driveshaft ensures smooth operation and prevents harmful effects of imbalance. Proper balance means the torque from the engine matches the shaft's spinning speed. Driveshafts are balanced within specific manufacturer-recommended speeds. Exceeding these speeds can lead to critical failure due to unstable RPMs influenced by shaft length and diameter.
Vibration is a common sign of imbalance in the driveshaft or other rotating components. If you notice vibration, contact us promptly for diagnosis and repair. Our team provides superior customer service and expert advice on essential driveshaft maintenance.
