A live axle transmits power to the wheels and rotates with them, typically connected to the drivetrain. A dead axle does not rotate and only provides structural support, commonly found in trailer applications.
Axles should be inspected during regular maintenance intervals (every 20,000-30,000 km) for signs of bending, spline wear, corrosion, or fatigue cracks, especially in high-load applications.
