Expert Lombard, IL Drive Shaft and Axle Repair
The axle and driveshaft of a car look different but perform the same role. The driveshaft is a cylinder, usually made out of steel or aluminum, that connects the rear differential and the transmission via universal joints. Drive axles, on the other hand, connect to either end of the differential via teeth that are cut into their ends. No matter which one your vehicle is having problems with, the experienced auto mechanics at Pit Shop Lombard can fix it for you.

Drive Shaft Repair
It’s important to diagnose and fix drive shaft problems early because no vehicle can shift from idle to drive without a functioning drive shaft. This mechanical part, generated by the engine, propels the vehicle forward. If you hear clunking noises when you accelerate, low squeaking noises that intensify with speed, or feel vibrations from the entire vehicle, it’s usually an indication that there’s something wrong with the drive shaft. Our mechanics will be happy to repair your vehicle’s drive shaft, but sometimes replacing it is the safest and most cost-effective solution.
CV Joint Repair
Professional Axle Shaft Repair
Axle shafts help turn your car’s wheels by carrying the rotation momentum from the transmission. They’re also known as CV axles and half shafts, and are composed of a metal pole, CV joints, and boots that contain grease. If one component fails, it can be replaced, however if multiple components are damaged, or if there’s too much overall damage, your axle will need to be replaced.
