2. Classification axle
Modern automotive common axle, which is supported in accordance with the different types, there are semi-floating and full-floating two.
full floating axle shafts only transmit torque, does not bear any reaction force and moment, with independent suspension with help to improve the comfort of the vehicle, which is widely used on various types of vehicles.
