Drive shafts transmit power from the transmission to differentials, while axle shafts deliver power from differentials to individual wheels. In AWD systems, both types work together to distribute torque to all four wheels.
Professional inspection every 50,000 km or during regular maintenance. Check for vibration, unusual noises, joint wear, and balance issues. CV joint boots should be inspected every 25,000 km for cracks or leaks.
Common causes include worn universal/CV joints, imbalance from damage or improper installation, corrosion, excessive torque loads, and lack of lubrication in sealed joints.
