It's the bearings, the axle halves are held into the rear end at the ends. The bearing is pressed on to the axle and held on with a retainer plate. Sometimes after wear the bearing will become loose and the axle will begin to slip out. In the middle of the rear end the axles are splined and simply slip into the ring and pinion gears.
