Define Front Axle on Vehicle?

The front axle on a vehicle is the component that supports the front wheels and connects them to the vehicle's chassis. It is crucial for steering and weight distribution, as it allows the wheels to pivot and steer the vehicle. The front axle also bears a portion of the vehicle's weight and transmits the forces generated by the suspension system to the wheels. It can be either a single solid axle or a set of independent axles, depending on the vehicle's design.
