According to the different suspension structure, the axle is divided into two types: integral type and split type.
1. Integral axle:
When using a non-independent suspension, the middle of the axle is a solid or hollow center beam. This kind of axle is an integral axle;
2. Disconnected axle:
The disconnected axle is a movable joint structure and is used with an independent suspension.
According to the different driving modes, the axles are also divided into four types: steering axle, drive axle, steering drive axle and support axle.
The steering axle and support axle are all driven axles. Most cars use front-rear drive (FR), so the front axle is used as the steering axle and the rear axle is used as the drive axle; while the front-end front drive (FF) car uses the front axle as the steering drive axle, and the rear axle serves as the support axle.
