What is?
structure with an integral axle connecting the two wheels, axles can not be disconnected, two wheels on the same axle of no relative motion of a suspension structure.

Composition
is mainly composed of a differential housing, axle tube, axle, bearing and other components.

advantages
strong bearing capacity
Because of the bridge Some or all of the burden of the load pipe vertically, so the overall carrying capacity of the suspension bridge is outstanding.
for harsh environments
Since the structure is relatively simple, it can withstand more torque, while using solid axle suspension includes a coil spring suspension generally much larger than the stroke, in rugged environments can make four better get a grip, so that the continuation of the off-road race car most of the overall structure of the bridge or the bridge before and after the whole is still using.
help maintain
Also, since the structure is simple, and other parts of the axle bridge operating at a closed tube, so that the entire bridge structure and easy routine maintenance targeted modification, whether you are for everyday use, or off-road enthusiasts, the whole bridge “operation” will be a lot simpler.

drawbacks
road performance General
However, the entire axle suspension also it has its own inherent shortcomings, and that is driving in the road, bouncing on one side of the wheel will directly affect the same axis as the other side of the wheel, which caused the overall suspension bridge high-speed performance and comfort are more general. So now some of the original suspension bridge with the overall high-end SUV models have begun to gradually give up the whole this suspension bridge type, in favor of tracking and comfort are better multi-link suspension, or other types.
using less
for a compromise to comfort and road performance, and now with the overall suspension bridge models has been relatively small.
