Best Answer

A three-quarter floating axle is the same as semi-floating, with one difference. The outer bearing is moved to the outside of the outer end of the axle tube, supporting a hub assembly via the bearing's outer circumference edge. The splined or keyed shaft drives this hub, to which the wheel is attached.

The shaft now supports minimal vehicle weight (so has much reduced radial load), but still locates the wheel axially, and transfers axial cornering loads (side thrust) to the axle inner bearing.

What is a full floating axle?

In a full-floating axle, the axle bearing is placed on the outside of the axle housing. This places all the vehicle weight on the axle housing and none on the axle itself. This is important for the front axle which is generally a short shaft. In the semi-floating axle, the axle bearing is placed in the axle housing and the axle carries some of the load of the vehicle. The main advantage of the semi-floating is that it is simpler (i.e. cheaper). Courtesey of: http://www.m38a1.ca/axles.html Sourced by: Paul Henderson, Donegal, Ireland.

What is semi floating axle?

A semi-floater axle is one that all the vehicals weight and rotational torque are placed on the outside bearing and axle. A full-floater axle has a separate bearing assembly on the end of the axle housing to support the weight of the vehical and rotational torque is the only load on the axle shaft. A full floating axle is easy to spot because the bearings protrude through the center of the wheel.
