Chrysler 300 Axle Assemblies

The term “axle assembly” usually refers to a solid drive axle design employed by vehicles with a non-independent suspension. That’s because this architecture suggests that the diff and half-axles be hidden inside the metal casing that firmly holds them, preventing relative motion. Such a scheme can be found underneath pretty much any RWD automobile of the 1960s-70s, and the Chrysler Three Hundred is no exception. By contrast, most modern passenger cars (including the 2005-current Chrysler 300) benefit from an independent rear suspension that offers much better cornering performance at the expense of the design complexity and increased cost.

Compared to the independent suspension’s CV joints and exposed half axles, the live axle is much stronger and dependable, which is why it typically causes fewer problems than its more sophisticated counterpart. However, given that the car in question is about fifty years old, it’s no wonder that its axle needs a replacement.
