The available DAF driveshafts are manufactured to withstand the load and torsional demands typical of heavy transport, ensuring stable operation and reducing unwanted mechanical vibrations.
Our offering is aimed at mechanical workshops, fleet managers and professionals looking for reliable spare parts for the maintenance of the driveline system. We cover a range of applications to ensure compatibility with different brand configurations, facilitating repairs and helping to extend the truck’s operational service life.
Criteria for choosing the right driveshaft
- OEM reference: Always cross-check the original part number to ensure exact technical equivalence.
- Model and series: Confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle (e.g. DAF XF, CF or LF) and its year of manufacture.
- Component length: Check the compressed length of the driveshaft and the slip travel.
- Flange type: Check the diameter and the bolt-hole pattern of the mounting holes at the ends.
- Torque capacity: The replacement must meet the power and engine torque specifications of the original vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
How do I identify the driveshaft compatible with my DAF truck?
The most accurate option is to locate the reference engraved on the tube or the label of the old driveshaft. Alternatively, you can consult the chassis number (VIN) in the technical documentation to cross-reference the data with the manufacturer’s specifications.
When is it necessary to replace the complete driveshaft?
Replacement is recommended if you detect excessive vibrations that increase with speed, metallic noises when changing gears, or if there is structural damage to the tube, such as dents or twists, that prevents correct balancing.
Do the driveshafts come ready for installation?
Yes, as a general rule driveshafts are supplied assembled and dynamically balanced, including the universal joints and, in models that require it, the centre support bearing. Check the product sheet to confirm the included accessories.
What maintenance does a new driveshaft require?
Although many modern components are low-maintenance, it is vital to periodically grease the universal joints and the slip splines according to the service manual intervals. You should also inspect the boots and the condition of the flanges regularly.
