Guide to bproauto Drivelines and Axles

What Are Driveline and Axle Parts?

While the terms can be used for quite a few different components, generally these parts focus on controlling your wheels -- and keeping them attached to your car, SUV, pickup, or van. That means we're talking about axles, wheel bearings, and wheel bearing and hub assemblies for the most part. Let's take a brief look at each.

All About Axles

The axle on your vehicle is a central rod or shaft that helps to support the vehicle's weight and turning your wheels. Most cars have two, in front and back, though some larger vehicles may come with more.

All About Wheel Bearings and Wheel Bearing and Hub Assemblies

Wheel bearings are part of the wheel hub assembly, along with seals and sensors. That assembly absorbs much of the rough ride your vehicle experiences when you're driving, no matter how rough the road's surface. It's located between your brake rotor or brake drum and the axle, which allows it to assist with keeping the wheel firmly in place.

How to Spot Problems

Eventually, your commute, road conditions, or driving style can cause these parts to start to fail. Signs of trouble include:

• Your steering wheel shakes
• Your tires make unusual noises
• The ABS dash warning light comes on -- though this generic alert needs further investigating
