Axles are used for steering, driving, and braking. They transfer power and torque from your engine to your wheels. In performing this key function, the axle must be able to sustain the entire weight of the vehicle, cargo, and passengers. They must also withstand the accelerated forces of driving and braking.
The basic types of axles are drive and dead axles. Drive axles are connected to the driveshaft, a rod that extends up to the vehicle's transmission and connects with the engine.
Dead axles are not connected to the engine at all. It turns only when the vehicle is in motion, caused by the drive axle. They help in supporting the weight of your car.
