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?

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.

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.

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.

Is a solid axle the same as a positive track axle?

No, a solid is the relationship of the rear wheels with regard to the suspension. Independent is one alternative where each rear wheel can travel in the suspension independently. Positrac is a type of limited slip traction control in the differential passing torque to the rear wheel with the most traction as opposed to letting the wheel without traction spin. The alterntive is an open differentialk, torque applied to the wheel with least traction.
