Drive Shafts are one of the most important parts of your car. They connect your engine to your transmission, and allow you to transfer power efficiently. Most cars use a universal joint to connect their driveshafts, but this can make them noisy and prone to vibrations. Gates® high quality Drive Shaft Joints are designed to hold your driveshaft in place, while allowing you to transfer power efficiently. They also reduce noise and vibration, making your vehicle smoother and quieter.
