Years ago, Kevin Maher dated his wife in a classic Dodge Challenger. Ten years ago, Maher, now retired and living in Rosemary Beach, Florida, was looking to get back into cars now that finances and ...

Long-travel suspensions paired with short-wheelbase vehicles can create havoc on a driveline. While the abbreviated wheelbase and extended articulation make for a smooth and nimble trail machine, the ...

Degree, travel, and constant velocity might sound more like physics homework than 4x4 jargon, but don't be confused, for it's all basic terminology associated with your vehicles driveshaft.

We surveyed mechanics from around the country to get real-world estimates of how much you can expect to spend repairing your axles, and average costs ranged from $287 for an axle shaft seal repair to ...

Driveshafts, or propshafts, and constant velocity (CV) joints are crucial to the proper and safe operation of a vehicle. They are necessary to move a car forward and make it turn. But what sort of ...

Most CV joints feature six hardened steel balls, which ride in grooves in the inner race. PHOTO BY ROLAND NASASIRA Mechanically, the constant velocity (CV) joint transmits torque or power from the ...

A U-joint (the ‘U’ stands for ‘universal’), sometimes called a Cardan joint after the man who invented it, is a type of flexible coupling typically used on both ends of the drive shafts in rear-wheel ...

A number of drivers think understanding car parts is the work of a mechanic. However, acquainting yourself with some easy to replace parts saves you money and probably being cheated by unprofessional ...

When an engine produces power and clutch and transmission convert it into required torque, some assembly is needed to carry this torque to driving axle or usually to rear axle. This assembly is known ...
