Mercedes 380SEL Driveshaft, Mercedes 380SEL Drive Shaft

Mercedes 380SEL Drive Shaft or propeller shaft is the mechanical component that transmits torque and rotation between the transmission/transfer case and the differential. The Mercedes 380SEL Driveshaft is a carrier of torque – it is subject to torsion and sheer stress. It must therefore be strong enough to bear the stress, while avoiding too much additional weight, as that would in turn increase the drive shaft inertia.

The Mercedes 380SEL Driveline incorporates one or more universal joints to allow for variations in the alignment and distance between the driving and driven components.
