Final drive spare parts for your car

Function of the axle drive

The drive axle consists of several components. The interaction of these is important for driving the vehicle forward. The engine power is passed on to the vehicle through the drive axle. This can work in a number of ways. The vehicle can have front, rear or all-wheel drive. Accordingly, the drive axle is either the front axle or the rear axle or a longitudinal differential in the case of all-wheel drive. However, the drive is not only provided by the axle, the torque produced is converted in the gearbox and transmitted to the axles through drive shafts and joints. The compensating differential, which each axle has, is used to evenly distribute the torque to the wheels. Cars with all-wheel drive require a transfer case, which distributes the power to the front and rear axles accordingly. A complicated system that distributes the forces according to ratios. Flexible disks are also required for the decoupling and damping of the vibrations. Special bearings minimize noise and connect the transmission to the vehicle body. Appropriate shaft sealing rings protect the gearbox from dirt. Protection is important to avoid corrosion and defects. Since a new transfer case is expensive due to its complexity, it is advisable to check the bearings and shaft seals, which are made of rubber, regularly. Carry out the inspection and replacement of the drive spare parts in a workshop.
