The function of the propeller shaft is to deliver the torque power to the front and back wheels of the car. And when these shafts wear out, then symptoms like squeaking and clunking sound, vibrations, turning and U-joint rotation issues arise. In the mentioned slides, you will find the noted symptoms of worn out propeller shaft in a car.

2. The wheels of the car fully
depend on the torque
converter to get power from
the engine to spin and move.

3. The propeller shaft is the
important component which
is responsible for
transmitting the power over
the wheels.

4. If you drive a front wheel
drive car, then it can deliver
the engine's torque power to
the front wheels which are
also known as driveshaft.

5. The propeller shaft also
deliver the torque power to
the front and back wheels,
so there are two propeller
shafts present in a car.

6. If your propeller shaft is
worn out, then it would
provide you the symptoms
given in the below points.

7. Squeaking and clunking
sound

8. If you feel squeaking sound,
then it indicate a bad
propeller shaft in your car
means the internal
components of shaft are
damaged or an imbalance
within the shaft.

9. However, when you put your
step on the gas pedal or
drive in reverse, the worn
out propeller shaft will cause
clunking sound.

10. Due to this reason, you will
normally hear the squeaking
and clunking sound all the
time in your car.

11. At this point, you will feel
more motivated to replace
the drive shaft of your car
before some real damages
occur.

12. Vibrations

13. If your car has a worn out
propeller shaft, then it may
create vibrations in your car
from underneath the car.

14. These vibrations should
clearly indicate that the
shaft of your car needs
replacement and in most
cases, the shaft may have
worn out bushing.

15. Thus, the bushings hold the
shaft in this place. If the
bushings are loose, worn out
or damaged, then the shaft
will vibrate.

16. When the shaft will vibrate,
then it could lean in your
car and damaged
completely.

17. Turning and U-Joint
rotation issues

18. Another symptom of a worn
out propeller shaft of your
car is arising troubles while
turning your car.

19. The reason behind is, your
wheels unable to receive the
proper amount of torque
power and hesitate after you
turn the steering wheel.

20. The propeller shaft has a U-
joint to rotate at a steady
pace. When it failed in
rotation and speedups can
cause issues in the propeller
shaft.

21. If the damage of your
propeller shaft is too
significant, then try to
replace it as soon as possible.

22. Conclusion

23. If you unable to find the
worn out propeller shaft of
your car, then the above-
defined symptoms will help
you to recognize it easily.

24. When you notice the
damaged propeller shaft in
your car, replace it as early
as possible, otherwise, the
replacement cost tends to
double.
