What are the three shafts fitted to a front engine rear wheel drive vehicle?

A front-engine, rear-wheel-drive vehicle has these three main shafts:

1. Crankshaft: Located in the engine, it converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion.

2. Propshaft (or Driveshaft): This transmits power from the transmission (located near the engine) to the rear differential.

3. Rear Axle Shaft(s): These shafts (usually two) are located within the rear differential and transmit power from the differential to the rear wheels.
