Questions & answers

Why are some axles bent in the middle?

“The upward bend in the axle is called "camber." Camber is the angular relationship of the wheel to the road surface in the vertical plane. Axles are typically built with a pre-determined bend in the tube that compensates for the expected deflection under load.”

Can axles be used without suspensions?

“Axle capacity will be reduced by at least 50% when used without a suspension system (axles or stubs attached directly to the vehicle frame). This is NOT a recommended configuration as it transfers load directly to the frame rails and is a very harsh ride.”
