The chances are the shaft in question is most likely made of aluminium. The "tube"of the shaft will carry "noise" of the drive train. The covering is there to help limit the noise and vibration. It is more for dampening noise than a structural covering.

Why propellor shaft in the commercial vehicle is fitted inclined?

The propeller shaft in a commercial vehicle is fitted at an incline to accommodate the alignment between the engine and the rear axle. This inclination helps to reduce vibration and stress on the shaft, allowing for smoother power transmission. Additionally, it enables the drivetrain to maintain optimal angles, which enhances efficiency and minimizes wear on components. Proper alignment is crucial for the vehicle's overall performance and longevity.
