KIA driveshaft's  design is intended to completely eliminate natural frequency vibrations.  The problem with this design of universal joint is that repair is difficult, relatively expensive and prone to early failure.  And front driveshaft run out, the most common KIA driveshaft design is that the front driveline is centered directly off the transmission main shaft. This  design causes KIA driveshafts to rotate with the smallest amount of radial run-out possible. Additionally the rear part of a KIA driveshaft is centered with the next most accurate means, a precision piloted fit flange.

As with and high speed rotating mechanism when parts wear or fail, serious vibrations can start small and build to cause sever damage to other drivetrain related components.  An updated designed universal joint is manufactured to exacting specifications, which specifically eliminates the root cause of early KIA u-joint/driveshaft failure.

The essential function of your driveshaft is always to transmit energy from a point (rear of transmission or transfer case to another point with constant action. In construction, s and pickups, the drivetrain was created to send torque through angles from your transmission for the axle (or auxiliary transmission). The driveshaft must go through

constantly changing general viewpoints (angles) in the middle the transmission and axle. It must also be able to transforming size while transmitting torque (by way of the slide yoke). rides suspended by springs inside an unusual, hovering motion. This indicates the driveshaft must have the capacity to broaden, change and contact working perspectives, when experiencing protrusions or depressions. This is often accomplished through common joint parts, which permit the driveline to be used at divergent angles, in addition to slip yokes, which allow contraction or growth to happen.
