The drivetrain of a car is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels, which moves the vehicle. The drivetrain involves many components that are needed to keep your car running optimally.
Various drivetrain parts for your car
CV joints, also called constant velocity joints, are part of the driveshaft. They can bend in any direction and allow the shaft to move while the drive wheels continue to turn. You'll most often find CV joints in front-wheel drive (FWD) vehicles.
The driveshaft is a long steel or aluminium tube that connects to the wheels at one end and to the transmission at the other. This allows the transmission to deliver torque to the wheels.
The Cardan shaft is a driveshaft that has a universal joint at one or both ends. In cars, this long shaft runs from the transmission in the front to the differential in the rear of the car.
The transmission mount is an attachment point for the transmission. It holds the transmission in place and absorbs vibrations and shocks.
Wheel hub seals (also called bearings) are located in the wheel hubs and ensure smooth rotation of the wheels. They also protect against dirt and moisture.
