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 Tie rod connects the steering mechanism to the front wheels. When you turn the steering wheel, the tie rod pushes or pulls the wheel to turn in the direction desired. So there are two tie rods- one for each wheel. If even one tie rod is broken you can't steer the car. The car will be un-drivable.
