 Front & Rear Axles Shaft A n A utomobile axles shaft is a solid or tubular steel shaft that support the weight of the vehicle and transmitted torque from the differential to the drive wheel to the wheel that turns to move the vehicle. In Automobile typically, front and rear axles are used in the vehicle whether it is a light motor duty or heavy-duty vehicle. It all depends on the drivetrain of the vehicle which drives on Front-wheel drive or Rear wheel drive vehicle.  There are two types of axles shaft (i) Dead axle (ii) Live axle. Dead Axle  A dead axle is a solid axle mounted to the suspension spring with a spindle at each upon which the wheel turn. This axle does not rotate, only the wheel on the axle rotate. The axle that is used in the bullock cart is a dead axle. I-Section axle beam is the dead axle, used front axle in trucks and buses.  Live Axle  In the live axle, the axle is on which turn within a tubular housing, the axle itself rotate due to thi...

 Automobile Suspension System  The automobile/automotive suspension system is a major role play for a comfortable ride and it absorbs the full shock of the road to make passengers tireless travelling provided to us, from our vehicles. It may be any type of category of your vehicle even in two-wheelers (scooters and bike or motorcycles) and four-wheelers in light-duty vehicle cars and heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses. The suspension system allows the vehicle to travel over rough surfaces with a minimum of up and down body movement. Road shocks are the action resulting from the tyre moving up and down as they meet bumps or potholes in the road.  The Suspension system is located between the wheel axles and the vehicle chassis frame or body frame of the vehicles.  The main purpose of the suspension system: • Its purpose is to absorb shock and jerks and to ensure a smooth ride. • Cushion bump and hole in the road, and maintain traction between the tyres and the r...

   HISTORY OF AUTOMOBILE  / AUTOMOTIVE  We know all, the first Automobiles were horse-drawn buggies and carriages powered by the fuel-burning engine, Internal combustion (IC) Engines instead of horses. They were called motor vehicles and horseless carriages.  What do you mean by Automobile/Automotive? Auto- means self, mobile/motive means movable, thus self-movable (which can move) vehicles are called Automobiles/Automotive.  Purpose of Automobile/Automotive The automobile/automotive is a self-propelled vehicle that is used for the transportation of passengers and goods/cargo on the road. A Self-propelled vehicle is that in which power required for propulsion is produced from within like Aeroplane, ship motor ship, locomotive, car, bus, truck, tractor, scooter, motorcycle are the examples of a self-propelled vehicle. The motor vehicle is another name for a self-propelled vehicle running on the road or ground. A vehicle is a machine that is used for the tran...
