Axle In other types of suspension systems, the axles serve only to transmit driving torque to the wheels; the position and angle of the wheel hubs is an independent function of the suspension system. This is typical of the independent suspension found on most newer cars and SUV's, and on the front of many light trucks.

- The inner wheel of a set of dual wheels using BUDD's is held on by a stud that has a square drive that goes over the stud on the hub and then the outer wheel is held to the inner wheel by a conventional lug nut that goes on the stud that holds the inner wheel to the hub. So that's what BUDD wheel sockets are for.

What is an Axle? The purpose of an axle is to secure the wheels or gears to specific locations relative to other wheels or gears. Every vehicle with wheels has an axle. To find it, look for the wheels and then look underneath the vehicle for a method of securing the wheel in place. Without an axle, the wheels would not remain fixed in position and the force and weight of the vehicle would make the wheel bend flat.

How Trailer Spindles Work On a trailer, the spindles are located at the very ends of the axles and they definitely do serve a purpose. When you're towing, spindles are the part of the trailer axle assembly that the wheel hubs (and wheels) rotate around. Trailer spindles provide a surface for the inner and outer wheel bearings to roll on -- or rather, to roll around. The inner and outer wheel bearings keep the wheel hub and the spindle from actually contacting one another. In other words, the spindles are literally at the center of it all.

Differential gear Each wheel axle is attached to a differential side gear, which meshes with the differential pinions. On a straight road the wheels and the side gears rotate at the same speed, there is no relative motion between the differential side gears and pinions, and they all rotate as a unit with the case and ring gear.

Ten steps on how to replace CV joint axles Without the boot, the grease would simply spin out of the CV joints. The boot also keeps dirt and grime out. On the CV axle are two CV joints along with one or two sets of splines. One side of the axle gets power from the engine while the other delivers the power to the driven wheel.tep 4: Loosen and remove the wheel side axle mounting bolts. Step 5: Separate the axle from the wheel. Do not allow the axle to hang from the transmission or differential. Oil seals could be damaged. Step 6: Gently pull, pry or otherwise liberate the axle from the transmission or differential.

Replacing Front-Drive Axles Warning: Some vehicles will spill transmission fluid as soon as the inner axle stub clears the seal. Be ready with a drain pan. Some European vehicles use a ring of bolts to hold the inner CV to the inner stub axle, and the stub axle stays in the transmission case. These bolts probably use a 12-point Allen-type wrench.
