Drive shafts – structure and function in the vehicle drivetrain
The importance and principle of operation of drive shafts in power transmission
Driveshafts are fundamental components of the drivetrain, responsible for transferring torque from the engine or transmission to the vehicle's wheels. Their reliability and precision are crucial for a smooth ride, safety, and durability of the entire drivetrain. At Global Parts, you'll find a wide selection of used car parts. , including drive shafts, fitted to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini and others.
What role do drive shafts play?
Drive shafts are an essential link in the drivetrain and perform several key functions:
- Torque Transfer – Responsible for transferring energy from the engine or gearbox to the vehicle axles.
- Vibration damping – Thanks to joints and flexible connections, drive shafts minimize vibrations, which improves driving comfort.
- Providing flexibility – Joints and shafts allow for power transmission in various planes, adapting to the movement of the suspension and steering system. Drive shafts are made of durable materials such as hardened steel, ensuring their durability in extreme conditions. A driveshaft typically consists of steel tubes with a diameter of 50 to 100 mm, universal joints or CV joints, bearing supports, and mounting hardware. In vehicles such as the BMW E60 530d, BMW X3 E83 or the Mercedes Vito 639, multi-element shafts are also used, enabling power transmission over large distances between the gearbox and the drive axle. In delivery models, e.g., the VW LT 35, the shafts can reach lengths of over 2 meters, which requires precise balancing.
Why is it worth taking care of drive shafts?
Damaged or worn drive shafts can lead to serious problems such as:
- Noise and vibration – May indicate worn joints or improper shaft balance.
- Transmission problems – These can result in a loss of smooth driving or even drivetrain failure.
- Shortened lifespan of other components – Such as axles, transmissions or suspension. At Global Parts, we offer original used drive shafts that have been thoroughly tested for quality and durability. It's worth knowing that vibration intensity can often be related to rotational speed. For example:
- in the range of 40–60 km/h, vibrations may indicate wear of the joints,
- at 80–120 km/h they most often concern shaft imbalance. Such data helps diagnose problems more accurately and select the right replacement more quickly.
How to choose the right drive shaft?
When choosing a drive shaft, there are several key factors to consider:
- Vehicle-specific fit – Every drivetrain has its own unique requirements. At Global Parts, you'll find driveshafts perfectly matched to BMW , Audi , Mercedes , Volkswagen , Mini , and more.

Why choose used drive shafts?
Used car parts , such as drive shafts, are a practical solution that allows you to save money while maintaining high quality. By choosing used drive shafts, you benefit from:
- Lower costs – Used components are much cheaper than new ones, but offer equally high quality.
- Ecology – Recycling car parts supports environmental protection and reduces waste.
- A wide range – In our store you will find drive shafts for the most popular car brands. Dismantled driveshafts often come from fleet or service vehicles that have had their wear and tear components regularly replaced. As a result, many are in excellent technical condition and dimensional compliance with the original. This also applies to specialized models, such as the BMW E60 530d driveshaft, the BMW X3 E83 driveshaft, the Vito 639 driveshaft, or the VW LT 35 driveshaft .
How to take care of the drive shaft?
