live axle

Despite the solid axle up front, the minimum turning radius is only 4.9 meters.

The CAMO TT and X4 are both great handling vehicles, with 4-link solid axle rear suspension, and independent front suspension.

Its solid axle design and extremely strong frame make it the perfect vehicle for uneven terrain.

The vehicle features flared wheel arches from composite materials, a modified rear bumper with an integrated tow bar and two recovery hooks, upgraded rear suspension with coilovers and a solid axle with a Watt's-link system.

There's a sophisticated double wishbone front suspension and a solid axle with leaf springs for maximum reliability and sturdiness.

And those fold-flat seats create a load floor that's about waist-high to LeBron James, since the engineers needed to leave room for the undulations of the solid axle beneath.

And the rear suspension setup is different (with the SUVs having a solid axle and five-link coil spring suspension).

But there is more: a horizontal shock, as would be imparted by hitting a large stone, would also cause a solid axle to want to steer.

Serving as the foundation is a fully-boxed high-tensile strength steel frame, to which is secured the type of suspension we like to see in an honest-to-goodness trail runner: a double-wishbone independent front coupled with a leaf-sprung solid axle rear.

A small bull pinion at each end of the cross shaft was meshed with a large bull gear bolted to each rear wheel, which turned on a solid axle. In this position, when the clutch was engaged, the tractor moved forward.
