Components:
Main and Steering Axles: These are the primary shafts that connect the wheels to the vehicle chassis, allowing for controlled movement and power transmission.
Differential: Situated between the axles, the differential enables the wheels to rotate at different speeds, crucial for smooth turns and traction.
Additional Components: Driveshafts or transmissions may also be part of the axle assembly, contributing to the efficient transfer of power.
Functions of Axle Assemblies:
Axle assemblies play a pivotal role in maintaining traction, stability, and control of your vehicle. They help balance weight distribution, ensuring optimal performance in various driving conditions, including snow or ice.
Types of Axle Assemblies:
Live Axle: Commonly found in rear-wheel-drive vehicles like pickup trucks, live axles support the vehicle’s weight while transferring power to the wheels.
Dead Axle: Typically seen in older minivans and front-wheel-drive delivery vans, dead axles solely support the vehicle without any connection to the engine.
