How to Distinguish Between Front-Wheel Drive and Rear-Wheel Drive?
1 Answers
Distinguishing between front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive simply requires observing the position of the front wheels. If the front wheels are positioned far from the front bumper, it is a front-wheel drive vehicle (the engine is mounted horizontally and cannot be installed too far forward). If they are close, it is a rear-wheel drive vehicle. Information regarding front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive is as follows: 1. Front-wheel drive vehicles refer to a driving method where the engine's power is directly transmitted to the front wheels to propel the vehicle forward, meaning the front wheels 'pull' the rear wheels to move the vehicle. 2. Rear-wheel drive vehicles refer to a driving method where the engine's power is transmitted to the rear wheels through a driveshaft to push the vehicle forward. Rear-wheel drive is a more traditional driving method, and the earliest cars were basically all rear-wheel drive.
