Main Components of 4-Wheel Drive Systems:

For instance, according to previous research article by International Journal of Advance Research and Innovation,

  • A 4-wheel drive vehicle has two differentials, one located on the front axle and one on the rear axle. The torque from the driveshaft or transmission is transmitted to the wheels using differentials.
  • Splitting of the engine power between the front and rear axles on a 4-wheel drive vehicle is done by the transfer case. It interlocks the front axle drive shaft with the rear axle drive shaft in order to force the wheels to spin at the same speed.
