What Does Replacing the Rear Axle of a Car Mean?
1 Answers
It means a major overhaul of the car's chassis. The rear axle is a component of the rear drive shaft that transmits the vehicle's power. Damage to the rear axle can affect the four-wheel alignment data. For some models, the rear wheel data is primarily based on the rear axle and cannot be adjusted. Once the rear axle is deformed, it means the rear wheel data is incorrect, affecting driving stability, causing tire wear, and shortening tire lifespan. Additional Information: 1. How the Car Rear Axle Works: The engine transmits power to the transmission, which then sends it to the large gear plate on the rear axle. When the car is moving straight, the rear axle remains unchanged. During turns, the internal components of the rear axle adjust the rotation speed of the car tires, improving maneuverability during turns. 2. Structure of the Car Rear Axle: The rear axle is hollow but contains a drive shaft inside, which splits the differential in the middle of the axle housing. The rear axle can buffer the impact forces generated when driving on rough roads, reduce vibrations during driving, ensure stability, and receive power control from the front axle to enable the car to turn.
