11 new driveshafts join Shaftec’s New To Range collection

Birmingham-based automotive remanufacturer Shaftec Automotive has unveiled the 11 new driveshafts that have been added to its New To Range collection for the month of May.

Key applications for the new driveshafts include the AU471LR for the Audi Q7 (2015 onwards), the VO275L for the Volvo V60 (2015-2018), and the VW505R for the Skoda Octavia IV (2020 onwards).

These new parts have joined the New To Range collection following the 19 new driveshafts that were added to the range in March.

Shaftec Marketing Manager Adrian Kitchen said: “Continuously adding to our New To Range portfolio is vital to ensuring our customers have access to the latest high-quality parts they need. We have introduced 11 new driveshafts this month as part of Shaftec's commitment to meeting market demand and keeping vehicles on the road. From the Audi Q7 and Volvo V60 to the Skoda Octavia IV, each new addition strengthens our position as a trusted supplier in the automotive aftermarket.”

Here are some signs that your driveshafts might need changing:
• Inspect the driveshaft: Look for any signs of damage, such as cracks or dents.
• Check the inner/outer joints: Check for any play or looseness.
• Check for vibrations: If you feel any vibrations while driving, it could indicate a damaged driveshaft.
• Listen for noises: If you hear any clunking or grinding noises while driving, it could indicate a damaged driveshaft.

Shaftec always recommends that if drivers notice any issues with their vehicle, they seek the advice of an expert.
