A drive shaft is also known as a propeller shaft. It basically transmits power to the wheels, especially the ones in the front. In rear-drive vehicles, a longer drive shaft is required to send power to the length of the vehicle. In early vehicles, chain drive or belt drive was used instead of a drive shaft. The main advantage of drive shaft is that is requires lower maintenance that a chain system. However, this does not mean that one most ignore their vehicle's drive shaft until it starts creating problems. Make sure to always keep your car or vehicle in check.
