U-joints are typically used on driveshafts because they generally need to accommodate only small angles, although some manufacturers use CV joints to provide a smoother ride, or on off-road vehicles that have been lifted and experience a greater amount of suspension travel.

On a semi-floating axle vehicle, the axle flange is bolted to the housing, while the vehicle's weight is supported by the hub & bearing.

The ___________ does not provide any drive capabilities and is used on the rear of front-wheel drive vehicles.

On front-wheel drive vehicles with a transverse mounted transaxle assembly, there are two half-shafts (axles) one on each side of the transaxle to each of the front wheels.

Which of the following axles uses a single roller bearing between the hub and the outside of the axle housing?

On the _________, there is a single roller bearing between the hub and the outside of the axle housing.

_______ use combinations of driveshafts and half-shafts depending on if the axle shafts are independent or nonindependent.

A(n) ________ drive transaxle typically does not place the final drive directly in the center of the vehicle; because the final drive is bolted to the end of the transversely mounted engine, it is offset to one side.

In the ________ axle, the axle bearing is placed between the axle and the axle housing.

Select one:

It is always good practice to check runout on the drive axle flange when there is a customer concern of vehicle vibration.

Provision is normally made for adjusting the alignment of a two-piece driveshaft assembly by using _______ under the carrier bearing.

Select one:

In all rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles, engineers fit a CV joint to the front end of the driveshaft, which allows for an increase of angles of the shafts without creating vibration.

In ________ axles, the axle bearing is placed on the outside of the axle housing.

While both can transfer torque through an angle, the U-joint can do so at a much greater angle than the CV joint, which is why it is used on front half-shafts to accommodate large steering angles.

Worn axle bearings allow the axle shafts to move, and the axle shaft movement will wear the axle seals quickly and create ____ that the axle fluid can leak out of.
