Axle Repair: Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Axle?

A car’s axle is the central shaft or rod that is responsible for transferring power from a vehicle’s engine to its wheels, allowing the rotating of the wheels and gears of a vehicle. The axle is centrally located underneath the body of the car and has several functions as to how the vehicle drives.

The axle is attached to the wheels, therefore rotating them and maintaining their position. It is responsible for the weight load and suspension of the vehicle, including the vehicle itself, passengers and any additional bearings. The axle is also inclined to absorb the shocks and stresses of the road and surrounding landscape.

How Many Axles Are There?
Typically, there is one axle for every set of wheels a vehicle has, but more often than not there are three axles. This depends on whether the car is Front Wheel Drive (FWD), 4-Wheel Drive (4WD), Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and All-Wheel Drive (AWD). A vehicle’s three axles include the front axle, the rear axle, and the stub axle. For cars with more than four wheels, the number of axles will increase, such as large trucks, vans, or semi trucks.
What are the Functions of Each Axle?
Each axle has its own specific function when it comes to the operation of a vehicle.

  • The front axle assists with steering and absorbing shocks from the road.
  • The rear axle delivers power to the vehicle’s wheels.
  • The stub axle is connected to the front axle and attaches to one wheel and supports wheels that do not have power reaching them, and are typically associated with FWD and RWD vehicles.
How Can I Tell if My Car’s Axles Need Repair?
The axle’s essential function is to keep your vehicle operating properly and most importantly, safely. Therefore, it is critical to stay vigilant about any signs of damage or disrepair, especially following a collision, overloading the vehicle, or driving over rough roads or terrain. The top indications of a damaged axle include:

  • The car is not moving forward or backward when running
  • Unusual noises or sounds, such as loud clunking or grinding
  • The feeling of your car vibrating or shaking when running, even when the vehicle is at a full stop
  • Any signs of grease or oils leaks, which can indicate an insufficient amount of lubricant to keep all parts of the vehicle running smoothly
