The driven wheels, whether front or rear, must also be free to rotate with the drive shafts . Non-independent suspension A rear-wheel-drive car often has a live axle , a tube containing both the drive shafts (half shafts) and the differential gears . A four-wheel-drive car may have ...
Install the mounting bolts finger tight and then tighten the bolts to 30 foot-pounds with a torque wrench. Replace the drain plug with the ratchet and socket. Fill the front differential case with 3.2 pints and the rear differential case with 3.9 pints of standard GL-5 hypoid type gear oil...
The transmission has different gears— or speeds— to control how fast the wheels turn. As the wheels turn, they cause the car to move. To measure the speed of a car, one must be able to measure the rotational speed of either the wheels or the transmission and send that information to...
by design, always feel different when you cram the accelerator to the floor. While a geared transmission typically bursts off the line, a CVT has a smoother (and slower) increase to maximum power. But CVT’s sluggishness goes too far. It may be a safety hazard when trying to merge onto ...
Electrons are pulled out of the ground to replace the ones removed by the power supply. Conventionally we think of DC current flowing from the power supply through the circuit to ground but in actuality the DC electrons are flowing the opposite direction. For amp's using a conventional ...
The yellow shaft is a splined shaft that connects directly to the drive shaft through the differential to the drive wheels of the car. If the wheels are spinning, the yellow shaft is spinning. The Bearings The blue gears ride on bearings, so they spin on the yellow shaft. If the engine...
For bikes equipped with derailleur gears, that’s usually thanks to a freehub. The freehub is an extension of the right-hand side of the rear wheel’s hub. It contains a system that engages with the wheel when you’re pedalling, to propel you forward, and which disengages when you ...

Remove the pinion bolt from the differential carrier with a ratchet and socket. Slide the pinion shaft out of the carrier until it passes the side gears inside the carrier and you can see the ends of the axles. Step 6 Move to the wheel side of the axle and push it in. Move back to...
Another is to do away with the driveshaft and have a motor, gearbox, and differential unit between two of the wheels (either front or rear) and driving them both. A third option is to have two front or rear motors (with or without gearboxes), each driving one wheel independently. The...
