Genuine Volvo S40 Drive Shaft

The function of Volvo S40 Drive Shaft is to transmit mechanical force and torque from the gearbox to the axle assemblies to propel the driven wheels. The assembly of the Drive Shaft in Volvo S40 is generally a hollow metal tube which has been designed to provide strength and low inertia. It has yokes at each end that accept flexible joints. Universal joints, or U-joints, permit the shaft to move in multiple directions while allowing power to flow through the shaft. This compensates for changes in angle between the transmission output and the differential due to suspension movement. In cases where an increased angular change may produce vibration, a single universal joint can be substituted with a double cardan joint. Furthermore, when the operating angles are required to be even steeper, a constant velocity joint of the Rzeppa type may be employed. In some designs, to meet packaging constraints arising from vehicle length or space, a two-piece layout supported at the center is employed, linking the front to the transmission and the rear to the differential. The Volvo Drive Shaft must be properly balanced. Dents, missing balance weights, and debris buildup will cause vibration, which becomes more noticeable with speed. Incorrect joint angle will cause low-speed shudder. When the flexible joints are worn out or under-lubricated, they can cause looseness, noise, and more vibration. This emphasizes the weight and importance of this drivetrain component for the effective delivery of power by Volvo models, more importantly the S40 model.
