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.
The Drive Shaft Support is a support bearing that is fitted halfway along the length of the drive-shaft. The drive-shaft connects the engine's transmission to the rear-differential. In larger vehicles and some cars, the drive-shaft is composed of two halves which are held together by the drive shaft support bearing. The bearing also keeps the drive-shaft centered and minimizes the vibrations that occur in the transmission system.
