UTV Driveshafts

Designed to transmit torque from the gearbox to the drive axle, driveshafts are subject to high torsional stress, and they have to be strong enough to bear this stress for many miles. These heavy metal bits are usually quite tough, but still, they have certain weaknesses, and powersports vehicles are not immune to driveshaft issues. Quite often, these issues are related to universal or CV joints constituting the driveshaft assembly. Also, there may be a problem with a carrier bearing, which is not that rare in some models by Polaris.

Driveshaft malfunctions typically lead to vibrations, knocks, and abnormal wear of neighboring components. Allowing for high articulation angles and providing constant rotational speed, any CV joint gets very vulnerable and fails quickly if its rubber boot cracks and starts to collect water and dirt. If left unnoticed for a while, a damaged boot will make you search for a new CV joint rather soon. U-joints don't have boots and cost less, but their ability to work with large angles caused by high suspension travel is limited.

To prolong their lifespan, U-joints have to be lubricated with special grease, and many of them are equipped with grease zerks. CV joint boots have to also be filled with lubricant.
