An axle is a crucial component in vehicles, serving as a central shaft for rotating wheels. It transmits power from the drivetrain to the wheels, allowing them to turn and propel the vehicle forward. Additionally, axles support the weight of the vehicle and help maintain stability while driving. In essence, they play a vital role in the overall functionality and performance of a vehicle.
Axle bearings support the weight of the vehicle and are called several different things depending on the suspension, axle, and control systems attached.
