The Axle Shaft as a part of Ford Explorer Sport Trac applies to drive wheels transferring the power from the differential and independently rotating, which helps to improve the tractive capacity. Type of automotive steel shafts include solid for trucks and older rear wheel drive cars and half shaft for vehicles with independent suspension. Differentials and axle shafts are housed in solid axles and half shafts on the other hand transmits power from the transaxle to the wheels. The conditions that accompany life within an axle can cause the shafts to wear from obstructions, leading to things such as noise and vibration; the seals can also wear and lead to the loss of lubricant and contamination of the brake as well. In general, Axle Shaft is accountable for items such as weight-bearing, transmission of torque, and wheel positioning in Ford Explorer Sport Trac vehicles.
