    Q:
    What type of front axle assembly is used in the 2003 Chevrolet Blazer, and how does it function? Posted by Customer
    A:
    4WD models use a fully independent front axle assembly consisting of a differential and a pair of drive axles with inner and outer constant velocity (CV) joints. An extension axleshaft is employed on the right side to compensate for the distance difference between the differential and the right front wheel.

    Q:
    What is the purpose of the optional locking limited-slip rear axle, and how does it work for the 1996 GMC Sonoma? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The optional locking limited-slip rear axle allows for normal operation until one wheel loses traction. This differential includes a pair of clutch "cones" that slow the rotation of the differential case when one wheel is on a firm surface and the other on a slippery one, equalizing the rotation speed of the axleshaft driving the wheel with traction.
