The drive axle is the mechanism located at the end of the transmission system that can change the speed and torque from the transmission and transfer them to the driving wheels. The drive axle usually consists of the main reducer, differential, wheel transmission device, and drive axle housing. The steering drive axle also includes constant velocity universal joints. The drive axle also bears vertical forces, longitudinal forces, lateral forces, braking torque, and reaction forces between the road surface and the frame or body.
