Explain the "full-floating type" of drive axle used in transaxles.
What will be an ideal response?
A "full-floating type" of drive axle does not support the weight of the vehicle; rather, all of the vehicle's weight is supported by the suspension. As the car goes over bumps, the axles move up and down, which changes their length. The inner CV joints let the axles slide in and out, changing their length, as they move up and down. The outer joints allow the steering system to turn the wheels, as well as allow for the up-and-down movement of the suspension.
