Audi A3 Drive Shaft

The Audi A3 Drive Shaft is the critical component that delivers engine torque to the other components of the drivetrain, allowing the wheels to rotate each time the driver depresses the accelerator. Fitted between the transmission and differentials, this Drive Shaft transmits rotational force over a gap that fixed gears cannot cross, all whilst having to deal with flexing suspension and varying road angles. Due to continuous torsion and shear, Audi constructs it of strong yet fairly light tubing so additional weight will not decelerate the Audi hatch. In order to have power flow across bumps or in tight turns, the Drive Shaft employs universal joints, or Cardan joints, which pivot to ensure alignment, as well as splined or prismatic sections that slide as distance changes. Previous A3 models typically had a single-piece Drive Shaft, with two universal joints, compact and suitable for small wheelbases. The design was adapted into a two-piece format joined by a center support bearing that gives the assembly more length and a shape that provides better balance and minimised vibration at high speed. Nevertheless, all these differences do not change the fact that each style serves the same purpose, constant torque and even acceleration. Audi has optimised joint choice and wall thickness to suit increasing performance requirements throughout the Drive Shaft's development, and each modern Audi leaves the factory with a finely tuned shaft that allows the cabin to remain quiet as the drivetrain labours.
