In British English, the term drive shaft is restricted to a transverse shaft that transmits power to the wheels, especially the front wheels. A drive shaft connecting the gearbox to a rear differential is called a propeller shaft, or prop-shaft. A prop-shaft assembly consists of a propeller shaft, a slip joint and one or more universal joints.
This steering gear is connected to your wheels by way of tie rod ends, which are responsible for keeping each wheel balanced and aligned. The tie rod ends adjust the wheel so that the tires do not develop excess wear on the inside or the outside. If the tie rod ends break or malfunction, the wheels will not be balanced or aligned.
