What are the causes of abnormal noise in the drive axle?

[CamillaRose]

The causes of abnormal noise in the drive axle are: 1. Excessive gear meshing clearance; 2. Insufficient gear meshing clearance; 3. Loose rivets on the driven bevel gear; 4. Wear on the splines between the half-shaft gear and the half-shaft; 5. Gear tooth breakage; 6. Insufficient bearing clearance; 7. Excessive clearance in the differential housing support bearings. The functions of the drive axle are: 1. Transmitting the engine torque from the universal drive assembly to the driving wheels via the main reducer, differential, and half-shafts, thereby reducing speed and increasing torque; 2. Changing the direction of torque transmission through the bevel gear pair of the main reducer; 3. Enabling differential action between the two wheels via the differential, ensuring that the inner and outer wheels turn at different speeds; 4. Supporting and transmitting torque through the axle housing and wheels.
