TAIL SHAFT

A tail shaft is as essential part in any rear wheel drive vehicle. Essentially, it’s the shaft that transmits power from the gearbox at the front of the vehicle, right the way down the back to the differential. Without a tail shaft, your rear wheels won’t be moving.

Tail shafts are normally very reliable and can last a long time, however there are different parts that make up the entire tail shaft which could cause issues – things like bearings etc.

One sign of a failing tail shaft is if you experience a shuddering feeling or sound coming from the rear of your vehicle, especially if you are travelling up a hill or incline.
