A driveshaft is a long, rotating metal shaft that transmits torque from the engine to the wheels in a rear-wheel or four-wheel-drive vehicle. It connects the transmission to the differential or transfer case and helps to transfer power from the engine to the wheels.

You may need to replace your driveshaft if it becomes damaged or worn out. Signs of a failing driveshaft can include vibration, shaking, noise, or difficulty turning the vehicle.

A driveshaft can last anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 miles or more, depending on driving conditions, vehicle type, and maintenance.

The cost of replacing a driveshaft can vary depending on the type of vehicle, the location, and the severity of the damage. Generally, the cost can range from AED500 to AED1500 or more.

While it is possible to replace a driveshaft yourself, it can be a difficult and time-consuming process, especially if you are not experienced with automotive repairs. It is recommended that you seek the assistance of a professional mechanic for this type of repair.

The time it takes to replace a driveshaft can vary depending on the type of vehicle and the severity of the damage. Generally, it can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours or more to complete the job.

It is not recommended to drive with a faulty driveshaft as it can lead to serious damage to your vehicle and can be a safety hazard. If you suspect that your driveshaft is failing, it is important to have it inspected and repaired as soon as possible.

Regular maintenance of your vehicle, including checking the driveshaft for signs of wear or damage, can help prevent driveshaft problems. Avoiding hard acceleration, sudden stops, and rough terrain can also help prolong the life of your driveshaft.
