On a rear wheel drive vehicle, the rear axles transfer power from the rear differential to the rear wheels.
If it is a 2-wheel drive then it has 2 axels in the rear and the 4-wheel drive has 4 axels. in the rear and 2 in the front.
depends on if the car is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive. If it is FWD, it will have a axle for each front wheel, if RWD, it still has 2 axles but they are housed in the cars rear end............hope this helps
If it is a front wheel drive car then the axels are in the front. Just look behind the front wheels and you will see them. If it is a rear wheel drive, then thay are in the back inclosed in the rear end housing.
Yes, assuming the car has four wheels, four-wheel-drive is the same thing as all-wheel-drive. Not always, four wheel drive provides a positive lock between the front and rear axles. All wheel drive has a differential between them most of the time.
Driveshaft transfers transmission revolutions to the rear differential (rear end gears then to axles) on rear wheel drive vehicles. Or if front wheel drive, the driveshafts is acually called CV (Constant Velocity) Shafts. It transfers transmission revolutions directly to the front wheels (hubs)
Rear wheel drive, 4x4 is dominate rear wheel drive
The Crank shaft turns and causes the cam shaft to turn, the pumps to turn, the alternator to turn, the transmission gears to turn, the transmission causes the drive shaft to turn, the drive shaft causes the differential to turn (in rear wheel drive models) this turns the axles and the axles turn the wheels. In a front wheel model, the transmission turns the axles shaft that turns the wheels. In a 4x4 the transmission splits to turn the front drive shaft and the rear drive shaft. (then the differential and the axles etc. The other thing that is counted is the steering wheel but it never really completes a whole revolution.
If it is 4 wheel drive then there is a solid axle in the rear and a trans-axle in the front. the trans-axel has two CV shafts on either side connecting to the front tires. If it is 2 wheel drive then there is just a solid rear axle. and your front tires mount to spindles.
The 2003 Ford Explorer has rear wheel drive.
The 2003 Ford Expedition has rear wheel drive.
