    Q:
    How are the axle shafts connected to the differential in the rear axle assembly for the 2001 Chevrolet Blazer? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The axle shafts are splined to the differential side gears, causing the inner tire to turn more slowly than the outer tire during cornering. The differential pinion gears roll around the slower side gear, driving the outer side gear and tire more quickly.

    Q:
    How do you remove the C-locks and axleshafts for locking differentials for the 1998 Chevrolet S10? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Rotate the differential until the pinion shaft touches the case, providing enough clearance for access to the C-locks. Use a screwdriver to rotate the C-lock until the open endpoints align, then push the axleshaft in and remove the C-lock. Repeat this process for the opposite axleshaft.

    Q:
    What should be considered before assuming an axle problem, and why for the 1994 Chevrolet S10? Posted by Customer
    A:
    Before assuming the axle is the problem, it is important to check for other possible causes. Road noise, tire noise, and engine and transmission noise can be mistaken for axle issues.

    Q:
    What type of front axle assembly is used in the 1999 GMC Sonoma, 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.
