Unfortunately for him, one of the car's half shafts broke and he failed to finish.

The 2006-2007 update also included a stronger rear differential and half shaft design.

Steering stability is achieved by making the two transmission half shafts virtually the same length.

Hulme took the lead and held it until a half shaft failed two thirds of the way in.

Half shafts angle downward to drive the wheels.

In the 1953 race, again starting 10th, a half shaft on his Connaught failed after 70 laps.

A material change in the axles ensures durability will be maintained for the front axle half shafts.

They have portal gears, allowing the drivetrain's half shafts to be up high for greater clearance.

A drive shaft connecting a rear differential to a rear wheel may be called a half shaft.

This includes gearbox, differential, half shafts, steering box, and a great many other mechanical and cosmetic changes.

In Rear suspension the wheel travel is constrained by the angle limitations of the universal joints of the half shafts.

When the driveshafts have different length and excessive torque is applied, the longer half shaft flexes more than the shorter one.

The two half shafts have different diameters (33mm left, 40mm right), designed to prevent resonance during acceleration and reduce the chances of wheel hop.

However, a new rear upright and half shaft designs were implemented to eliminate cv joint failure and to reduce overall weight.

The drive shaft sends power to the front and rear viscous limited slip differentials, which send power to the wheels through plastic telescoping half shafts.

BMC rear axle design was faulty, with half shafts cutting into sealing rings and starving the differential of oil.

Due to the fully floating design of the rear wheel hubs, the half shafts can be removed very quickly without even having to jack the vehicle off the ground.

Transmission was 8 speed through a single clutch with the option of the Allis-Chalmers half shaft clutch to achieve 'live' power take-off.

Ten of the plates are splined (mechanically connected) to the ring gear while nine of the plates are splined to a half shaft.

Engaging the drive train to the engine too quickly can damage drive train parts, including the transmission, differential, half shafts, axles, and CV joints.

When in 4WD or front wheel drive only (rear half shaft broken) I get a snatching on the steering when at full lock at low speed.

Torque steer can be addressed by using a longitudinal layout, equal length drive shafts, half shafts, a multilink suspension or centre-point steering geometry.

They feature variable valve timing on the exhaust side, electronic throttle control, and a special oil pan with a pass-through for the half shafts in four-wheel drive vehicles.

Swivel housing oil seal, hub oil seal, the gasket between the drive flange and the hub or the felt washer on the end of the half shaft.

It is used to connect two pieces of a shaft together and is characterized by tapered teeth that mesh together on the end faces of each half shaft.

Based on its I-beam suspension from the mid '60s, Ford mounted a Dana 44 differential in the driver-side (front) axle beam and transmitted torque to the passenger-side wheel with a double U-jointed axleshaft.
