Genuine Volvo S80 Drive Shaft

The Drive Shaft of the Volvo S80 is a metal component that transmits power from the transmission to the driven axle for rear-wheel or all-wheel propulsion with some degree of twist to accommodate suspension movement. The Drive Shaft typically comprises a hollow metal tube, closed off at the ends by yokes, with one flexible joint on the tube and the other on the axle. Universal joints, or cardan joints as they are sometimes called, are often employed for this purpose. When a single joint may cause vibration, a double cardan assembly can be fitted. Where working angles become steeper, a constant velocity joint such as the Rzeppa type may be chosen. A two-piece design, whereby the front shaft section connects to the transmission and the center support bearing, and the rear section connects to the differential, is sometimes necessitated by length and packaging requirements. Such construction enables the shaft to remain aligned without an excessive length of a single tube. The shaft is capable of efficiently delivering torque through various distances at different angles by bearing torsional and shear stresses while being light enough to limit rotating inertia. Common concerns are loose or noisy universal joints due to wear, cracking in couplers, and vibration at speed, which may occur due to dents, dirt buildup, lost balance weights, or incorrect angles in a Volvo assembly. Lubrication and balance of the joints ensure that the Volvo drivetrain functions with efficiency. This allows the S80 to move smoothly, quietly, and consistently. The Volvo system ensures that the S80 is connected to the road with every rotation of the Drive Shaft facilitating its role.
