How does the drive line of a FWD differ from the drive line of a RWD vehicle?

What will be an ideal response?


A FWD vehicle has a transaxle, which contains both the transmission and final drive gearing. The differential then splits the power to two short drive axles, one for each front wheel. The drive axle has two constant velocity joints that allow for movement of the front wheels.


A RWD has a separate transmission and differential. The drive shaft in a RWD vehicle uses universal joints instead of constant velocity joints.
