OEM GM Drive Shafts

Commonly referred to as a drivetrain, the drive shaft of your GM vehicle has an important function for your engine. Essentially, the shaft turns torque and engine rotation into the forward or reverse motion of your vehicle.

There are four types of drivetrains for the common vehicle. A front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive. Front wheel drive tends to receive the best fuel-mileage and produces less carbon monoxide with the weight of the engine is located over the drive train. However, controllability isn't as great as a rear-wheel drive train which is more evenly balanced and produces better handling.

Many think all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive are the same. But they're totally different in the sense that an AWD has all four wheels in continuous motion with power delivered to individual wheels when loss of traction is noticed. All-wheel drive enhances on-road traction, especially during periods of bad weather. 4x4 drivetrains are best when traveling off-road. This drivetrain spins all four wheels at the same time providing more power, especially when towing heavy loads.

Symptoms of a failing drivetrain in your GM consist of unusual vibrations beneath the vehicle, difficulty turning, and squeaking/knocking noises. Shall you encounter any of these symptoms, seek inspection ASAP!
