propeller shafts
Thrust-transferring cylindrical rods
Propeller shafts are the rotating rods that transmit power from an engine to a propeller.
In boats, the shaft connects the motor to the propeller that moves the vessel through water.
In rear-wheel-drive vehicles, the propeller shaft (also called a driveshaft) runs from the transmission to the rear axle: The mechanic found play in the propeller shaft.
