Womala Drive Shaft OE 32249773 Transmission Shaft for Volvo XC90 16-

Core Functions

• Power Transfer: Transmits rotational torque from the transmission (or transfer case) to the rear differential, which then distributes power to the rear wheels. This is critical for the XC90’s AWD system, as it ensures balanced power delivery between the front and rear axles—maximizing traction on low-grip surfaces (e.g., ice, mud).
• Vibration Dampening: The integrated U-joints or CV joints allow the drive shaft to flex slightly as the vehicle travels over bumps (accommodating movement of the rear suspension). This prevents excessive vibration from being transmitted to the chassis, reducing cabin noise and improving ride comfort.
• Speed Synchronization: CV joints (used in many modern XC90 variants) maintain a constant rotational speed even when the drive shaft is at an angle (e.g., during suspension compression). This eliminates “speed fluctuations” that would cause vibration or wear on the transmission and differential.
• Load Handling: The steel-tubular design provides high torsional strength (resisting twisting under heavy torque) and bending rigidity (withstanding lateral forces from the suspension). This ensures the drive shaft can handle the XC90’s engine output (up to 316 hp in T6 variants) without deformation or failure.

*Notes: “XC90 (16-)” denotes the second-generation XC90, which launched in 2016—while 2016 models share the same platform, verify compatibility with 2016 vehicles via the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). For 100% fitment accuracy—especially to distinguish AWD vs. front-wheel-drive (FWD) configurations (FWD XC90s do not use a rear drive shaft)—confirm with Volvo’s official service manual.*
