βοΈπ§ How To Understand the Main Parts of Rear Axle Assembly ππ¨
The rear axle is a crucial part of the drivetrain. It transfers power from the engine & transmission to the rear wheels, supports the vehicleβs weight, and ensures stable driving on the road π£οΈβ¨
π In rear-wheel-drive cars, the rear axle is the driving axle, delivering torque to the wheels. Depending on the design, it can be live (powered) or dead (unpowered), and may be independent or solid.
π© Key Parts of Rear Axle Assembly:
1οΈβ£ Filler Plug π’οΈ β Check or refill differential oil.
2οΈβ£ Drain Plug π§ β Drain old differential fluid.
3οΈβ£ Differential βοΈ β Lets wheels rotate at different speeds during turns.
4οΈβ£ Leaf Spring π β Suspension system that stabilizes the car on uneven roads.
5οΈβ£ Wheel π β Connects to the hub & moves the car.
6οΈβ£ Differential Casing π‘οΈ β Protects and houses the differential gears.
7οΈβ£ Axle Shaft π β Transfers power from transmission to wheels.
8οΈβ£ Propeller Shaft (Drive Shaft) π β Carries torque from engine to rear axle.
9οΈβ£ Axle Bearing π οΈ β Reduces friction & supports wheel rotation.
π Axle Case ποΈ β Strong housing that contains the axle assembly.
β‘ In short: The rear axle = Power + Strength + Stability + Smooth Driving! ππ
