A car axle is a shaft connected to the wheels that supports the vehicle's weight. It may either be fixed to the car, allowing the wheels to rotate around the axle, or fixed to the wheels, rotating with them.

Several things could cause damage to your car's axle, including loading it above its weight-bearing capacity, hitting potholes or curbs too hard, poor maintenance and being involved in a collision. When damage occurs, you'll have to book a car axle repair because the safety of your vehicle has been compromised.

The most common symptoms of a damaged or broken axle are malfunctioning brakes, inability to accelerate, a loud clunking noise, grease leaking from under the vehicle and tyre misalignment.
