What kind of axle shafts are used in trucks?
Passenger vehicles have two axle shafts while commercial vehicles such as dump trucks and semi-trucks have more to bear their significant weight loads. There are two main types: solid and CV axle shafts. Solid shafts are more durable, but they don’t allow the wheels to move independently of each other.

How does a pull cam on an axle work?
The casting body is pushing against the axle studs using axle stud adapters and raised portions of the casting. Pull cams with the nuts on the front and back side of the casting are pulling against the axle flange. When you strike the driver, it releases pressure on the split wedges while the pull cams make the axle jump out.
