087409355 Audi SHAFT

This part’s job is pretty straightforward – it transmits power from your transmission or differential to the wheels, making them turn. It’s a rotating shaft, obviously, and it handles torque – that’s the twisting force that actually gets the vehicle moving. Depending on the vehicle, it might be a single piece or have multiple sections with U – joints letting it flex and move with the suspension. Some also have a slip yoke, which allows the driveshaft to change length as the suspension goes up and down or the differential moves. The driveshaft is a crucial link in getting power down to the wheels. Think of it as the final piece of the puzzle after the engine and transmission do their work. It’s most common in rear – wheel drive and four – wheel drive vehicles. In a front – wheel drive car, you won’t usually find one because the power goes directly to the front wheels. It physically spins, converting the rotational force into movement, so it's right there in the undercarriage, connecting key components. If this part fails, you're not going anywhere. A failing driveshaft can cause serious vibrations, especially at higher speeds. You’ll notice if it starts to go bad – usually with clunking noises from underneath the vehicle, or really harsh vibrations. It acts like a shield protecting other components, so if it goes, it can damage the transmission or differential too. Ignoring driveshaft problems can lead to a complete breakdown, or even cause an accident.
