What is a front axle of a car?

Question

hi please help, what is a front axle of a car? and if it need to be repair??? please and thnak you. how much should it cost tooo?

Answer 1

the front axle is that part which supports the two front tires. Depending on whether the car is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive will answer the question of how much it will cost to repair the front axle.

Answer 2

Virtually no car has a 'front axle' to speak of, by definition it isn't necessary with independant front suspension. You may have a front crossmember, a piece of pressed steel spanning between the two front suspension units.

Can you give more info as to what this is about? And a make & model of car would help.

Answer 3

the front axle hooks to the wheel and the other end goes into the tranny, and when you put your car in gear, the tranny turns the axle and the axle turns the wheels and makes the car go. if the boot gets torn, then all the grease comes out and sooner or later it needs replacing.

Answer 4

The front axle is what hold your front tires on your car. It usually is split in two for better articulation.

If you have front wheel drive, you should have a transaxle and that can be costly to repair.

Your axle should not need to be repaired unless you broke it and if you did, you tire would come off. It would not be drivable.

What makes you think your axle needs to be repaired?
