A broken driveshaft can be caused by several thing the spline can be stripped or worn out where shaft goes into transmission. You can break a driveshaft by being overloaded and starting to abruptly. This especially happens in overloaded trucks on a hill the pinion shaft can break through overload or to much torque such as drag racing the welds on ends of shaft can crack.
check that the pinion nut on the differential is not slightly loose. have drive shaft balanced. check transmission and engine mounts
Ujoints on drive shaft. third member in rear end.Locked up motor.A friend of mine used to weld the brake hubs on his rivals cars while they were shopping.
Drive shaft play/possible worn/bad ujoints /driveshaft
No, you can't. If the strut is broken, the whole corner of the car will collapse going over a bump and could cause more damage.
Most probable cause is the drive cable between gearbox and speedo has broken.
If the drive motor is working the most likely cause is a worn or broken belt.
There are several things that can cause your 1995 Chevy Cavalier transmission not to go into drive or reverse. The most common cause is a lack of transmission fluid. A broken shifting fork will also cause the problem.
It has both. As a rule:--U-Joints are usually found on drive shafts and CV joints are usually found on half shafts.
never drive any vehicle with a worn universal joint, you may cause serious injury to yourself or other drivers when the drive shaft lets loose on the road
See the USA in your Chevorlet, America is asking you to call. Drive a Ford cause Chevy's are as pointless as a broken pencil.
Most probably,but to be sure measure both shafts from the centres of the ujoints and make sure the measurements are the same. Hope this helps.
A transmission that is not engaging fully when in drive might need a new shift solenoid. There is also a chance that a band is stretched or broken inside the transmission.
