[QUOTE="jack action, post: 5456495, member: 240508"] Not only logical, that is what happen and what I described. The part of the CV axle that goes within the hub/bearing assembly is what I refer as the "axle". No matter the design, there must be a part of the axle that is connected to the wheel (to allow rotation) and another part of the axle that is connected to a bearing (to support the lateral forces); CV joints or solid axle. Here is a solid live axle: [ATTACH=full]187275[/ATTACH] The axle (23) pushes on the bearing (20), the bearing (20) pushes on the differential casing which is actually part of the suspension. Here is one for an independent suspension: [ATTACH=full]187276[/ATTACH] The axle (green) pushes on the bearings (orange), the bearings (orange) push the upright (yellow) that is part of the suspension. Here is a more complex one for a front live axle that incorporate steering and a locking/unlocking feature: [ATTACH=full]187277[/ATTACH] The "rotating" axle (21) goes through the "fixed" axle (60) and connects to the disc brake (67) via the locking/unlocking mechanism (70-76). The disc brake (67) pushes on the bearings (66 & 69) which in turn push on the "fixed" axle (60). The "fixed" axle is solidly linked to the differential casing and steering mechanism. [/QUOTE]
