GMC Jimmy Axle Shaft
Axle Shaft, in GMC Jimmy automobiles, is a system that transmits power from the differential to wheels, enabling the ability of rotating each wheel independently in as related to the other for better grip. These pintle shafts are used in pairs and participate in bearing the weight of the vehicle, in transmitting torque force, in ensuring the position of the wheels. There is the live axle for transmittal of torque, and the non-driving axle for suspension, of which they come in different possibilities to fit the requirements of the vehicle. Through-form loads, bearings and seals of axle shafts are liable to deterioration, for which bearing and seal replacement becomes necessary; worn parts generate noise, vibration, and lubricant loss. In summary, the Axle Shaft is critical to the proper running and efficiency of GMC Jimmy cars.
Each OEM GMC Jimmy Axle Shaft we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
GMC Jimmy Axle Shaft Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What is the type of rear axle shaft assembly and differential used on GMC Jimmy?A: The rear axle assembly is a hypoid, semi-floating type with a Differential that allows the outer rear tire to turn more quickly than the inner tire when the vehicle goes around a corner. The axle shafts are splined to the differential side gears, causing the inner tire to turn more slowly than the outer tire. The differential pinion gears roll around the slower side gear, driving the outer side gear and tire more quickly. The differential is housed within a casting with a pressed steel cover known as the "carrier," and the steel axle tubes are pressed into and welded to the carrier. On 4WD models, a fully independent front axle assembly is used, consisting of a differential and a pair of driveaxles with inner and outer constant velocity (CV) joints. An extension axleshaft is employed on the right side to make up the difference in distance between the differential and the right front wheel. An optional locking limited-slip rear axle is also available, which allows for normal operation until one wheel loses traction. This differential includes a pair of clutch "cones" that slow the rotation of the differential case when one wheel is on a firm surface and the other on a slippery one, equalizing the rotation speed of the axleshaft driving the wheel with traction. It is important to check for other possible causes before assuming the axle is the problem, as road noise, tire noise, and engine and transmission noise can be mistaken for axle issues. Overhauling the differential may require special tools and is not typically cost-effective for a do-it-yourselfer.
