On the loooong driveshaft for automatics (left I think), what is that little extra rubber circle thing that's strapped about mid-way to the shaft; and what happens if its not there or not in the right place?
Thanks

i dont think its anything really.. any aftermarket axles you get from say, autozone, dont have them.. the only ones ive seen with that thing are the stock axles from my sedan and my wagon.. ive replaced my axles on the sedan twice and neither had that ring..

yeah i noticed that too but the axels i have now don't have them so like he said nothin' to worry about

I asked my mechanic that before, he didn't know either, he thought it might be like a balance. I thought it was there to protect it if it ever came out, like it would just bounce off whatever it hits.....
yeah I don't know either

my axles never had that either...hmm, maybe to prevent the shaft from hitting something and breaking it

its kinda like the little wing on the driver's side windsheild wiper, why one and not the other? at least 100 people have asked me, what's that for?"but one thing about honda, there is a reason for everything.laterComment

I always assumed it was for balancing purposes. Which sort of makes sense since it's on the longer shaft only. And also explains why the cheap reman/aftermarket axles that don't have them frequently have vibration problems even when brand new.Comment
