Best Answer

Axle ratio is determined by the number of teeth on the crown gear and the number of teeth on the pinion gear. A 3.55 ratio for example means the pinion gear rotates 3.55 times to every one rotation of the crown gear. If you are going straight , the drive shaft will turn 3.55 times to one rotation of the wheel.
