What are the front axle and rear axle of a car?
1 Answers
Automobile front axle is a device that transmits the multi-directional forces between the frame and the front wheels and the bending moment and torque generated; automobile rear axle is a device used to support the wheels and connect the rear wheels, which is used as the drive axle for rear-wheel drive vehicles. The front axle is mostly a driven axle, also known as a steering axle, which is generally distributed at the front end of the vehicle, so it is called the front axle. It can transmit the steering force output by the steering gear to the wheels to realize the steering of the vehicle, and is connected to the steering system by the steering knuckle. The rear axle refers to the rear drive shaft component of the vehicle power transmission, which is composed of two half-axles and can implement the half-axle differential movement. It is also a device used to support the wheels and connect the rear wheels.
