What Is The Difference Between Back Axle And "Car Camber"? by SuperSuave(m): 1:56pm On Nov 25, 2018 |
Good afternoon all. So someone asked me to look for a used car for him online which has manual transmission and back axle, I saw a few of the vehicle make and model on jiji and olx, called the sellers and some of them said theirs is back axle, some said theirs is back axle but "car camber" or camber (I don't know what that means), one said his own is not back axle but "car camber" ( not sure of the right spelling, he pronounced it that way), I got confused here. My question now is what is the difference between all these terms : back axle, camber or "car camber"? As I'm not familiar with vehicular terms Thanks you as I await your replies |

SuperSuave: 1.Back axle popularly refers to a solid rear wheel drive axle. See 1st pic. Examples Peugeot 504, Toyota Hilux, Prado, Land cruiser, Benz C or E Class, BMW 3, 5 or 7 series etc 2. My understanding of car camber as you call it is "rear camber" to mean rear independent suspension. See 2nd pic. In the pic, the camber is the part the shocks sit on. Examples are Honda CRV, Pilot, Toyota Hilander 3. Another type is the beam axle which is the least complicated. See 3rd pic Examples are Audi 80, Peugeot J5 Note both 1 and 2 are both rear wheel drive while 3 is not. 1 is always a primary drive wheel and the big centre portion housing the differetial. 2. Is sometimes rear wheel drive and sometimes not. 3. Is not a drive wheel Modified. 3. can come in a drive wheel too. I have seen this type in Audi 80 Quattro.

OkaNaUbe: Control arm is what Kazeems refer to as camber. I guess their reason for calling it so is because the control arm usually has bushings and a bad bushing or controm arm usually affects the actual camber. In simple terms, a bad control arm or its bushings affects the camber of the wheel. |

adanny01: I meant the way the "op" used it. Some cars have positive camber (like Mercedes), neutral (Toyota etc), and Negative cambers |
