The driveshaft is made from high-strength, double-wall tubular steel to minimize weight, and incorporates a number of collision energy distribution features to ensure consistent and predictable crushing in a severe frontal collision. The following features are provided:
- the front section has a crushable design that ensures its destruction.
- a complex long-travel hinge with double offset at the rear of the front section, absorbing impact energy.
The cardan shaft is supported by one or two rigid intermediate bearings made of stamped steel with riveted aluminum heat shields.
