Is 4 wheel independent suspension the same as all wheel drive?
No. Two very different things. Independent suspension just means that you don't have a solid axle running between the wheels.. All wheel drive is a traction control mechanism which engages, disengages, locks, and unlocks all four wheels to provide constant traction and forward driving force.
Does all wheel drive work the same as four wheel drive?
All wheel drive is all wheel drive, all the time. Four wheel drive is engaged or disengaged by the driver.
Does a front wheel drive car have a Universal joint?
No, they usually have something called a CV (constant velocity) joint which is sort of same, same but different.
What is difference between a 4 wheel drive car and an all wheel drive car?
I have always understood that an allwheel drive car is always using all four wheels under power, while a 4 wheel drive car can be selected for either 2 or 4 wheel drive in a high or low ratio setting. Actually, "All Wheel Drive" delivers power to either the front or rear wheels, depending on which has the least resistance. Power is transferred between front & rear according to the surface traction. Power is never delivered to both front & rear at the same time, except with symmetrical AWD such as Subaru.
Do 4X4 trucks use a lot of gas?
If you are comparing two trucks of the same make, model, and year then yes a 4x4 will consume more gas due to the extra weight of the axle, transfer case, additional drive line, and heavier front suspension, as well as the increased friction that the additional drive train causes. However if you get stuck in a two wheel drive truck you will be wishing very much that you had a 4x4 regardless of the cost of gas!
Is 4 wheel independent suspension same as 4 wheel drive?
Four wheel independent suspension means that each of the four wheels moves up and down independent of the others. Four wheel drive means that the engine can send power to all four wheels for additional forward traction.
Is 4 wheel independent suspension same as all wheel drive?

Is a 2 wheel drive and a four wheel drive Tahoe frame the same?
No. 4 wheel drive front suspension is totally different, plus transfer case support. Generally 4x4 frames are more structurally built to handle twisting in off road riding
Are Ball joints same as universal joints?
Ball joints are in the front suspension, it is basically what the wheel assembly pivots on when you turn. Universal joints are on the ends of the drive shaft in a rear wheel drive vehicle. At the transmission and rear end. They give the drive line some flexibility. The same principal is in front wheel drive but are referred to as constant velocity joints, or CV joints.
Does all wheel drive work the same as four wheel drive?
All wheel drive is all wheel drive, all the time. Four wheel drive is engaged or disengaged by the driver.
What does a 2002 Lincoln LS have for rear suspension?
It has an independent suspension because it uses the same platform as a Jaguar S-Type.
Does all wheel drive and 4 wheel drive use the same amount of gas?
Of course they do they are the same thing because cars only have 4 wheels, so it would be the same as an all wheel drive.
How can you tell if Tahoe v8 engine is 4 wheel drive?
The 4 wheel drive and 2 wheel drive engines are the exact same.
Is four-wheel-drive the same as all-wheel-drive?
Yes, assuming the car has four wheels, four-wheel-drive is the same thing as all-wheel-drive. Not always, four wheel drive provides a positive lock between the front and rear axles. All wheel drive has a differential between them most of the time.
How to remove the front tire if its front wheel drive?
The same way as a rear wheel drive.
Are the gear ratio the same in a 2 wheel drive as in a 4 wheel drive?
They could be. Depends on how they were built.
