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.
A Drag Link is a steering gear component that changes the rotary motion of the steering box to a link in a different plane or axis. It is used in a four-link steering mechanism. The drag link converts the steering box's sweeping motion to linear motion that pulls the tie rods, thereby turning the wheels of the vehicle. One end of the drag link is connected to the steering wheel via the Pitman arm and steering gearbox. The other end of the drag link is attached to the car frame by the idler arm. The length of a drag link influences the steering ratio. A damaged drag link affects the automobile's toe in and toe out settings.
