Horizontal Distance of C.G from Rear Axle on Front Wheel Formula

Define Rear Axle?

The rear axle is a key component in a vehicle's drivetrain that connects the rear wheels and supports the vehicle's weight. It transmits power from the engine, through the differential, to the rear wheels, enabling them to rotate and propel the vehicle forward. The rear axle also plays a role in maintaining the alignment of the wheels and ensuring proper handling and stability. It can be either a live axle, which transmits power, or a dead axle, which only supports weight.
