Drive Axel?, It's broken.. kinda Options

[speedracer_2020]

So I've been hearing a rattling noise in the old Celica..

And recently a sudden loss of power when the car in gear (revs like a charm while not engaged)

But... when I took the car in for an oil change the mechanic noted that "A couple drive axels are busted"

Not to be stupid (I know what they do.. but I need an explanation for my car's power loss): What are the purpose of these? .. and when damaged will there be any noticeable poewr loss when driving. The car still drives. Only rattles under high acceleration under 50km/h...

Lemme know.. thanks
