What Does Dual Front Axle Mean?

[Aaron]

One of the main structures of an automobile. The finished product is called the "front axle assembly," which utilizes the swing of the steering knuckle to achieve vehicle steering, hence it is also referred to as the steering axle. Located at the front of the vehicle, it is also known as the "front bridge." To ensure safe driving, the front axle is equipped with appropriate front wheel alignment angles. Functions of the Front Axle: In addition to bearing the weight of the vehicle, the front axle assembly also withstands vertical loads between the ground and the frame, braking forces, lateral forces, and the bending moments caused by lateral forces. Functions of the Steering Knuckle: The steering knuckle is installed at both ends of the I-beam via kingpins, bearing the load at the front of the vehicle, supporting and driving the front wheels to rotate around the kingpins for steering. Under driving conditions, it endures variable impact loads, thus requiring high strength, making it a safety-critical component of the vehicle.
