Axles 101
When your car feels a little different or is making different noises it is usually trying to tell you that it needs some work done on it. It's always smart to look into the problem right away because the longer you drive while the noise goes on the more damage could happen to your car. But what kinds of noises can help you detect if you have problems with your axle?
One thing to listen for when you are driving is a clicking sound. This usually will happen when you turn right or left. It can also occur when you lift your foot from the gas.
Don't confuse the clicking noise with a low rumble or a whining noise. These are frequent noises that you can hear from your car, and they are usually a sign of other problems.
Axles are a little more complicating now that they were 20 years ago. They are also different depending on the car and year of the car that you have. They are a very important, and play a key role in your steering system.
Now a days newer cars have a split axle. This means that both sides are connected to separate shafts. This allows for an easier ride because each side has separate suspension.
The split axle also provides better traction, which can be perfect for wet and wintery climates. The wheels turning at different speeds as you make your way around a corner or any turn accomplish this higher traction.
To drive safely it is key that your axle be in good condition because it is such a key part of your steering. If you find out there is anything wrong with it, don't hesitate to fix it.
When most of us are driving we usually have music or other distractions that lead us away from really listening to our car. If you start listening you can catch onto problems when they start right away. Then, just take it to your trusted car shop to help you fix your car. - 2368
