Toyota & Lexus Propeller Shaft

The propeller shaft (also known as the driveshaft) is responsible for delivering torque (i.e., rotational force) from the transmission to the wheels, keeping your vehicle moving. Excessive stress placed on the prop shaft can lead to premature wear and failure, which can present as abnormal noises (such as clicking), shuddering or vibration, or loss of movement in the wheels.
