MEYLE has added another 100 new drive shaft units to its existing range to fit many popular vehicle makes and models.

There is exceptionally high demand on the quality of drive shaft design as these parts are directly exposed to the loads generated in the gearbox. In addition, the vehicle's compression and rebound forces act on drive shaft joints and boots. Drive shaft boots suffer from abrasion under the high load levels during operation, which may cause the rubber to tear. As a result, the grease required to provide sufficient lubrication will leak out while contaminants and moisture are allowed to enter in.

This means when replacing the drive shaft assembly, material quality is paramount for repair professionals. To provide a simple solution Hamburg based component manufacturer MEYLE now offers another 100 drive shaft assemblies, newly added to complement its existing range and designed to meet the highest demands.

MEYLE-ORIGINAL drive shafts are made of forged steel specially chosen for the application and employ grease that is specially formulated to match the exceptional requirements and strain levels acting on the joint. Retaining latches in genuine original-equipment quality ensure that the boots fit securely. Each MEYLE-ORIGINAL drive shaft undergoes pre-defined in-process testing and evaluation. Repair professionals can safely rely on the superior quality of MEYLE-ORIGINAL drive shafts at all times.

MEYLE and MEYLE HD parts are available from stockist nationwide and are distributed in Ireland by Strongline Autoparts Limited. For more information call 01-462-4631.
