Best Answer

Most modern passenger cars have split axles--which means that the wheels on each side are attached to separate shafts. This allows the left and right wheels to rotate at different speeds as the car turns, improving traction and tire life.

A straight axle is just a straight bar, like the ones you'd find on a little red wagon...
