Longer service life. Less downtime. MEYLE HD for the Ford Transit.

MEYLE HD drive shafts for Ford Transit models minimise the weaknesses of original parts. Improved boots, optimised joints and robust materials ensure reliable power transmission over the long term – even when subjected to high strain.

MEYLE HD: developed to specifically reduce wear.

Drive shafts transfer torque to the wheels and compensate for steering movements, suspension travel, and varying load conditions. Typical causes of failure in original parts include damaged boots, loss of grease and wear in the joints.

This is exactly where the MEYLE HD solution comes in:
  • Boots from thermoplastic elastomer rather than rubber – more resistant against abrasion and external influences

  • UF outer joint (undercut free) with a larger deflection angle for greater durability

  • Double offset inner joint for reduced surface pressure

  • Optimised material design for high fatigue strength

Focus on typical weaknesses – targeted enhancements

Damage is often caused by leaky boots: grease leaks out; moisture and dirt get in – wear increases. The MEYLE HD drive shaft addresses precisely these issues with sturdier boots, optimised joints and a robust material design. The result: less downtime, a longer service life and greater comfort.

Reliable power transmission – also when subjected to high strain

Carefully selected materials, optimised joint geometry and durable boots ensure a long service life even with intensive use.

Material design for permanent stress: optimised material selection increases fatigue strength.

Less wear due to better load distribution: DOJ inner joint and UF outer joint reduce mechanical stress.

Sealed system, longer service life: TPE boots provide reliable protection against dirt and moisture.
