Drive shafts, in general, are mechanical components that pass on torque and rotation with the aim of connecting other part of the drive train. These are the parts which can not be directly related to it. They are like the RNA cells in a human body since they also carry something and that is the torque. These car parts are often subjected to torsion, shear stress, and equivalent to the difference between the input torque and the load. Hence, it is but a requirement that they are capable of handling pressures. Anyway, for cars, how it works depend on what drive train a car is running to - rear wheel drive, front wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
