About Standard CV Shafts and Premium OE Type CV Shafts

There are many 4x4 components that play a critical role in the performance of full-size, domestic trucks. From transfer cases to front or rear axles, these parts are essential for maintaining stability and complete control of your vehicle in both off-road and street driving. One of the most important parts that should always be at optimal performance, however, is your 4x4's front CV driveshaft.

Meaning "constant velocity," CV driveshafts allow the torque from your 4x4's transmission to be sent to your wheels without skipping a beat. In other words, these rugged driveshafts are designed with CV joints to allow your wheels to maneuver at a constant rotational motion without causing friction or other issues.

In general, driveshafts consist of angled shafts which rely on U-joints (universal joints) or CV joints to keep the vehicle moving smoothly. However, double cardan driveshafts use these U-joints to keep angular velocity consistent.

At Torque King, we know the importance of these parts in relation to ensuring a safe driving experience. That's why we've committed ourselves to delivering front double cardan CV shafts to our customers. No matter what type of CV shaft catches your attention, you can trust in the dependability of our equipment.

When your 4x4 starts to experience squeaking, rough vibrations or clunking, it could be a sign that your driveshaft is in need of repair.
