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 part is a kind of joint that connects the tie rod to the steering knuckles. It basically helps transmit the movement of the steering wheel to the wheels. When the defect lies in the tie rod end, naturally, the movement of the steering wheel won't be sent to the wheels.
