Axle Shaft
An axle is a part of the transmission assembly of an automobile. The main purpose of an axle is to bear the weight of the vehicle and also maintain the position of wheels relative to each other and to the vehicle body. Axles can either be live-axles or non-driving axles. In an automobile, live axles help in transmitting the power from engine on to wheels via the drive shaft.
