BW says it offers a range of solutions for your driveline needs

The driveline is a vital system in any vehicle, responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels
While designed for durability, even the toughest components can wear down over time.
Early identification of driveline issues is crucial for preventing costly repairs and ensuring vehicles stay on the road. BW says you should keep an eye on the following items. 

1.  Diagnosing vibration issues

• Driveshaft imbalance: unbalanced driveshafts can cause significant vibrations, particularly at high speeds. BW provides precision-balanced driveshafts and alignment services to maintain performance after repairs.
• Centre Bearing failure: a worn centre bearing can worsen vibrations. BW’s range includes reliable centre bearings designed for optimal performance, helping to stabilize and reduce vibration while ensuring a smoother ride.

2. Identifying CV Joint failures

• Signs of trouble include clicking or popping sounds: these noises during turns often signal a failing CV joint. BW stocks high-performance CV joints that enhance flexibility and power transmission, preventing further issues.
• Inspecting the boot: cracked or torn CV boots allow contaminants to enter, accelerating wear. BW recommends you regularly check and replace the CV boots with quality options such as its products for longevity.

3. Leaks from the transmission or differential

• Fluid leaks can lead to heat buildup and rapid wear. BW says its comprehensive range of seals and gaskets helps maintain fluid integrity, ensuring proper lubrication and reducing the risk of damage.
• Fluid condition: contaminated or burnt-smelling fluid indicates internal damage. BW explains that it provides high-quality fluids and additives to keep systems clean and functioning optimally.

4. Clunking and jerking during acceleration
Potential causes for clunking and jerking during acceleration include:

• Differential wear: excessive backlash in the differential can cause clunking. BW offers differential parts and gear sets which it says ensure precise adjustments, eliminate noise, and enhance driveline stability.
• Worn mounts: cracked or worn mounts can lead to clunking during acceleration. BW states that its selection of engine and transmission mounts helps absorb movement and secure components effectively.

5. Preventative Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to prolonging driveline component life:

• Lubrication: ensure U-joints and CV joints are regularly lubricated. BW provides a range of high-performance lubricants to protect components from wear.
• Early detection: be vigilant about vibrations, clunking, or leaks. BW says its knowledgeable team and quality products can help mechanics address issues before they escalate into costly repairs.

A comprehensive range
BW offers an extensive range of driveline components specifically designed for the Australian and New Zealand markets, which it says ensures OE quality which stabilises and supports driveline systems while reducing vibrations.
With a minimum warranty of two years or 40,000 km, BW says you can trust that its products are built to last.
Driveline problems can quickly escalate if ignored. BW says regular inspections and proper maintenance with its reliable parts will keep vehicles running smoothly and efficiently.
