Can You Still Drive with a Leaking Axle? The function of the axle is to transmit power. The axle, also known as the drive shaft, is the shaft that transmits torque between the transmission reducer and the drive wheel. There is a universal joint at each end, connected to the reducer gear and the inner ring of the hub bearing via splines on the universal joint. The roles of the axle are: 1. To transmit the reaction force and torque from the road surface to the frame through the leaf spring; 2. To act as a brake during vehicle movement. Axles can be divided into the following types based on their support structure: full-floating axle, three-quarter floating axle, and semi-floating axle. Symptoms of a damaged axle include: 1. The vehicle may pull to one side or experience severe shaking; 2. The wheel may detach; 3. Abnormal noises may occur while driving.
