Propeller Shaft

Propeller shafts, found within the Drivetrain > Axles & Shafts section, transmit engine torque from the transmission to the axles, enabling driven wheels to propel the vehicle. Commonly used in rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive passenger cars and commercial vehicles, these shafts feature a rotating shaft connected to universal joints at each end to accommodate suspension movement and varying angles. Key characteristics include shaft diameter, length, spline count, and balancing to minimize vibrations at higher speeds. Examples in our catalog include a Mercedes-Benz Trucks propeller shaft (MPN A6124104301) and a Febi replacement shaft (MPN FEBI32864), alongside options for Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz Passenger vehicles. Selecting the correct propeller shaft ensures efficient power delivery and smooth vehicle operation.
