Chrysler 300 Axle Shafts & Parts

The part of the driveline that delivers power from the transmission to the differential is known as a driveshaft, and the components that distribute torque between the right and left wheels are the half-axles or axle shafts. The design of these devices differs depending on the general scheme of the vehicle undercarriage. The live axle design uses firmly fixed metal rods hidden inside the axle assembly. By contrast, the independent suspension, such as the one employed by the 2005-current Chrysler 300, relies on shafts with constant-velocity joints that allow relative motion between the left and right wheels and thus actually make the suspension independent.

While providing certain dynamic advantages, such an architecture falls short of dependability and strength. The CV joints are protected by rubber boots with limited durability. Besides, the shafts themselves are exposed and sometimes can be bent on a rough terrain. If you want to rely on your car in any situation, make sure that its suspension and axles are in excellent condition. And if one of its axle shafts is impaired, then you can find a replacement among our Chrysler 300 axles & components inventory.
