Propeller shaft

What are the benefits of a Mercedes‑Benz Genuine Remanufactured propeller shaft?

Genuine remanufactured propeller shafts for trucks offer impressive robustness, longevity and high-precision machining. As the manufacturer, we make sure that our genuine remanufactured parts are compatible. That keeps wear, vibration and noise to a minimum. A genuine remanufactured propeller shaft meets a standard comparable to that of the equivalent new part in terms of quality, reliability and functionality. During the remanufacturing process, the genuine remanufactured parts are inspected for quality and durability, with specially trained experts simulating various driving and load situations on test stands. The wear parts are then replaced and these replacements installed in the vehicle.

How does a truck propeller shaft work?

The purpose of a propeller shaft is to transmit power from the drivetrain to the front wheels. It needs to be flexible, as the angle of the front wheels changes during steering. Joints allow it to follow the suspension travel and steering movement. These constant velocity joints, attached to the ends of the shaft, ensure the necessary range of motion. However, special homokinetic propeller shafts are used for steered wheels.

Rubber axle or CV-joint boots protect the propeller shaft against dirt buildup. These rubber axle boots are filled with lubricant to keep the propeller shafts well greased at all times.

With a propeller shaft as a genuine remanufactured part, you will be helping to protect the environment.

Remanufacturing conserves raw materials and reduces CO2 emissions compared with manufacturing a new propeller shaft. When a genuine remanufactured part from Mercedes‑Benz is installed, your truck remains a true original. We ensure short non-operational time and a quick repair process for your truck fleet through the high availability and precise fit of our spare parts. Installing a genuine remanufactured propeller shaft from Mercedes‑Benz is an economical repair option for older trucks in particular. We will also reimburse you at an attractive rate for your used part.
