A vehicle’s differential (or diff), whether front (FWD), rear (RWD), or both (AWD and 4WD), helps deliver power to the axle(s) and regulates how fast each wheel rotates. Like any other component of a drivetrain, differential problems may arise over … Read more
The function of constant-velocity joints, or CV joints, in a vehicle is to help transfer power to the wheels from your transmission. Power is transmitted at a consistent speed of rotation when there isn’t much friction. In other words, power … Read more
The job of the drive shaft is to transfer the rotational energy of the engine from the differentials or gearbox to your vehicle’s wheels. You will normally see drive shafts being used in vehicles that have rear-wheel drive or 4-wheel … Read more
The most common car problems that you will have will revolve around your tires and wheels in some way. For most people, this means having either flat tires or low tire pressure. But the most extreme problems coming from the … Read more
The function of constant-velocity joints, or CV joints, in a vehicle is to let power be transferred to the wheels from the transmission. Power is transmitted at a consistent speed of rotation while there is not much friction. This is … Read more
The wheels of any vehicle depend on power from the engine in order to make them turn and move the vehicle. The driveshaft (also called a propeller shaft or prop-shaft) is the component which is responsible for transmitting this power … Read more
The wheels of any vehicle would not be able to rotate without certain components called axles. There are two possible locations for where these axles could be installed. They are either installed on the body of the vehicle or on … Read more
