Of course it is :) It's nice-nicer-nicest. And remember-there's no such thing as a real word.. If a word is used and people understand it, then it is just as real â¦ as any word in any dictionary, or any word approved by your English teacher!
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.
DRAG LINKS. Function: A drag link connects the pitman arm on the steering gear with the steering arm on the spindle. Rotation of the steering gear input shaft causes the pitman arm to rotate back and forth. As this motion occurs, the drag link pushes or pulls the steering arm causing the wheel to pivot on its king pin.
