<p>A full-floating axle drive assembly for propelling a vehicle includes a shaft (10) having a splined end (14) to which a splined drive member (16) is axially and non-rotatably secured. The drive member (16) is secured to the splined end (14) of the shaft (10) between the bottom of the shaft splines (20) and a forged flange end (22). In a preferred embodiment, the shaft (10) extends through an axle tube (30) on which a wheel hub (32) is fully supported by bearings (34). The drive member (16) is secured to the wheel hub (32) which is rotated thereby about the axle tube (30). </p> |
