In Buick Century automobiles, the Axle Shaft is another important part that helps transmit power launched from the differential to the drive wheels to separately rotate and increase the tractive capacity. These steel shafts can vary in different ways, for example solid axle for trucks and old rear wheel drive cars and the half shaft for cars that have independent suspension system. Differentials and axle shafts are incorporated in solid axles while half shafts help transfer power from the transaxle to the wheels. In regards to the axle shafts, damages may occur due to contact with the obstacles, thus creating problems such as noise and vibration; the seals may also wear out, which causes the escape of the lubricant and contamination of the brakes. In general, Axle Shaft has the essential responsibilities of sustaining the car's weight, transferring torque, and keeping the wheels aligned in Buick Century cars.
