Ring, pinion and carrier all remained between the solid axle and independent rear suspension. The solid rear axle from 1995-2001 Explorers is a popular swap for older Jeep Wranglers and Cherokees. In addition to being nearly the same width, they have the same wheel bolt pattern, are equipped with disc brakes, and are much stronger than the Dana ...
The front of the H attaches to the body via rubber bushings, and the rear of the H carries each stub-axle assembly, on each side of the car. The cross beam of the H holds the two trailing arms together, and provides the roll stiffness of the suspension, by twisting as the two trailing arms move vertically, relative to each other.
The 2020 Ford Explorer uses the rear-wheel-drive based CD6 platform shared with the new Lincoln Aviator. The turbocharged 2.3 L EcoBoost inline-four is the standard engine, with 300 hp (224 kW) and 310 lb⋅ft (420 N⋅m) of torque. It comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive.
To accommodate for the addition of a pickup bed, the wheelbase of the Explorer Sport Trac was lengthened from 111.6 inches to 125.9 inches (matching the Ford Ranger SuperCab). As with the Ford Explorer and Ford Explorer Sport, rear-wheel drive was standard, with ControlTrac four-wheel drive as an optional powertrain configuration. A 210 hp (157 ...
The "Drive-cycle" basically is the representative of the road. Drive cycles are used to reduce the expense of on road tests, time of test and fatigue of the test engineer. The whole idea is to bring the road to the test lab (a chassis dynamo-meter) or to the computer simulation. Two kinds of drive cycle can be made.
A rubber bushing may also be described as a flexible mounting or antivibration mounting. These bushings often take the form of an annular cylinder of flexible material inside a metallic casing or outer tube. They might also feature an internal crush tube which protects the bushing from being crushed by the fixings which hold it onto a threaded ...
Reduce the amount of torque from the front axle by passing part of torque to the rear axle. This is achieved on all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles with full-time AWD. Power assisted steering (set on most modern cars) make the torque steer effect less noticeable to the driver. Steer-by-wire [6] also hides the effect of torque steer from the driver.
Where the engine and axles are separated from each other, as on four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive vehicles, it is the propeller shaft that serves to transmit the drive force generated by the engine to the axles. Several different types of drive shaft are used in the automotive industry: One-piece drive shaft; Two-piece drive shaft
