What Does Axle Breakage Mean?

[LaGabriela]

It usually refers to the fracture of the vehicle's trailing arm. If the chassis design of the car is unreasonable, the trailing arm may twist and deform due to forces such as bumps, impacts, steering, and tilting during the vehicle's use, and in severe cases, it may even break. The following is an introduction to axle breakage: 1. Introduction: So-called axle breakage does not only refer to the fracture of the drive half-shaft but broadly refers to the failure of suspension components, steering components, and transmission components connected to the wheels or wheel assemblies on the vehicle, such as loosening, fracture, or deformation of control arms, steering knuckles, tie rods, etc. 2. Hazards: Since axle breakage can severely affect the vehicle's driving capability and is highly likely to cause loss of control, it poses a significant threat to vehicle safety and occupant safety. This is why axle breakage receives a lot of attention among various vehicle defects. 3. Historical Events: Since the launch of the FAW-Volkswagen second-generation Sagitar on March 7, 2012, there have been continuous reports of rear suspension trailing arm fractures. According to Volkswagen's official statistics, there were only 55 cases of trailing arm fractures.
