Why do we have to think about these angles at all? We wouldn't if the engine, transmission, driveshaft, and pinion all shared the same centerline. As it is, these components are never on the same ...

Building a hot rod means working all the angles, and there are plenty of angles to work. One of the more important angles is the angle between your transmission output shaft (which is the same as the ...

Driveline vibrations are easy to feel, but solving them can puzzle even the most methodical of knuckle-busters. Does your car have the highway vibes? Just sending your driveshaft out for a balance job ...

Dana Holding Corp. announced that it has launched its Spicer iPhone application, a tool kit that offers three easy-to-use calculators to measure fuel-savings opportunities, driveshaft RPM speeds, and ...

Driveline vibration can be felt in the cab and it can result from incorrect driveline angles, damaged U-joints or an unbalanced condition. Driveline vibration can be felt in the cab and it can result ...

Some owner-operators nowadays, enamored with the image first popularized by Southern California’s low-ridin’ community, deflate their trucks’ air suspension so the frame hangs several inches closer to ...

Why they matter: U-joints transfer torque while handling driveline angles, preventing binding and breakage under load. What kills them: Excessive angles, poor lubrication, contamination, or worn yokes ...

Degree, travel, and constant velocity might sound more like physics homework than 4x4 jargon, but don't be confused, for it's all basic terminology associated with your vehicles driveshaft.
