Driveshafts

Drive shafts are fundamental components of the drive system, responsible for transferring torque from the engine or gearbox to the vehicle's wheels. Their reliability and precision are crucial for smooth driving, safety and durability of the entire drive system. In the Global Parts automotive store you will find a wide selection of used car parts , including drive shafts , fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others.

What role do drive shafts play?

Drive shafts are an essential link in the drivetrain and perform several key functions:

• Torque transfer – Responsible for transferring energy from the engine or gearbox to the vehicle’s axles.
• Vibration damping – Thanks to joints and flexible connections, drive shafts minimise vibrations, which improves driving comfort.
• Providing flexibility – Joints and shafts allow for power transmission in various planes, adapting to the movement of the suspension and steering system.

Drive shafts are made from durable materials such as hardened steel, ensuring their durability under extreme conditions.

Why is it worth taking care of drive shafts?

Damaged or worn drive shafts can lead to serious problems such as:

• Noise and vibration – May indicate worn joints or improper shaft balance.
• Transmission problems – These can result in a loss of smooth driving or even drive system failure.
• Shortened life of other components – Such as axles, transmissions or suspension.

At Global Parts we offer original used drive shafts that have been thoroughly checked for quality and durability.

How to choose the right drive shaft?

When selecting a drive shaft, there are several key factors to consider:

• Vehicle Model Matching – Every drive system has its own specific requirements. At Global Parts you will find drive shafts perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and more.
• Technical condition – Make sure the shaft is free from mechanical damage such as cracks or corrosion and that the joints operate smoothly.
• Balance and length – Proper shaft balance and dimensions are crucial to the proper operation of the drive system.

Why choose used drive shafts?

Used car parts , such as drive shafts, are a practical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used drive shafts , you gain:

• Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality.
• Ecology – Recycling car parts supports environmental protection and reduces waste.
• Wide range – In our shop you will find drive shafts for the most popular car brands.

How to take care of the drive shaft?

In order for the drive shaft to function reliably for a long time, it is worth following a few rules:

• Regularly check the condition of joints and rubber boots to prevent wear.
• Monitor shaft balance, especially after replacing other driveline components.
• Keep joints properly lubricated according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
