“He arrived on time. He said he was taking the car to his workshop to repair it. I was told the car would be repaired on site. From then on, all communication was done over the phone. He explained clearly what he had found, and what he had done. He needed a couple of extra parts, which would arrive next morning, and would be finished by lunchtime. I rang him at 3.45 and he was just leaving. He explained what he'd done, and recommended some extra work which needed doing. Generally i'm very happy with the whole experience.“

What does a Driveshaft do?

On rear-wheel drive (and all-wheel drive) cars it is the driveshaft that transfers the power from the engine to rear wheels to be distributed over the two rear wheels. In some cars the driveshaft connects to a transaxle (a gearbox and differential mounted at the back of the car), but in most cars it transfers the power from the gearbox attached to the engine at the front to a differential at the back.

How do you know there is something wrong with the Driveshaft?

When the car vibrates whilst driving, noticeable through the steering wheel.
When there is a thudding or clunking noise coming from underneath or the back of the car.
When there is a squeaking noise coming from underneath or the back of the car.
When the car does not move at all.

When should you consider a Driveshaft replacement?

While the driveshaft itself is usually not prone to wear over time, it can get damaged. Usually due to an accident or because the shaft was damaged will driving over a bump or through a pothole. In many cases like this the car becomes practically undriveable with severe knocking noises.

Addressing issues with the drive shaft timely and professionally is key to prevent further, more expensive, damage to the car. Should you experience problems with driveshaft then it is advisable to have it inspected and, if necessary, have the driveshaft replaced. Always service the driveshaft as and when stipulated in the guidelines set out by your car's manufacturer.
