The Propshaft is a significant element in power
transmission therefore the quality of the propshaft has
to be to the highest standard. There is a standard of
material quality, manufacturing processes and testing
which GKN provide.

solutions for passenger cars, SUV’s and the LCV
market to offer garages to benefit from the high
quality and reliability of the OE brand. As it stands,

•
One, two and three piece configurations

Steel, aluminium or composite tube materials

NVH analysis and tuning

Propshaft vibration is very similar to wheel vibration
and may be caused by one of the following:
•
A new vehicle where there is a driveline fault
•
A modified vehicle where angles or installation
are incorrect
•
An old Propshaft with worn components
•
A balance weight falling off
•
Accident damage to the Propshaft or
mating flanges
•
A poorly repaired shaft
