Transmission Output Shaft

The shaft that transmits power from the transmission to the drive wheels.

Driveshaft Vibration

Unwanted oscillations of the driveshaft, often due to imbalance or misalignment, that can lead to driveability issues or damage.

U-joint Operating Angles

U-joint Operating Angles refer to the angles at which universal joints (U-joints) operate, connecting rotating shafts in a drive system, crucial for efficient power transmission and reducing wear.

Out-of-Balance

Refers to an uneven distribution of weight causing parts of a rotating object (like a tire or drive shaft) to move unevenly, often resulting in vibration or uneven wear.
