Degree, travel, and constant velocity might sound more like physics homework than 4x4 jargon, but don't be confused, for it's all basic terminology associated with your vehicles driveshaft.

Stick-slip chatter commonly shows up on initial start of a machine when static friction in the bearings temporarily restrains shaft rotation. As the shaft then winds up, torsional force rises until it ...

A ROTATING shaft can exhibit torsional vibration when, because the dynamic coefficient of friction is less than the static value, the frictional force at the bearings supporting the shaft decreases as ...
