When driving a truck that has one steering axle and one drive axle, on which of these axles are the axle shafts mounted?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Axle shafts (half-shafts) are the steel bars responsible for transferring torque and driving force from the differential side gears to the hubs of the wheels that propel the vehicle. Therefore, in a configuration where the functions are separate (a steering axle in charge of steering the vehicle and a drive axle in charge of propelling it), the axle shafts are installed exclusively on the drive axle. A simple steering axle does not need axle shafts, since its wheels turn freely on their hubs to guide the path.
