The manual suggests tightening the rear axle of a B14 to a torque range of 133 to 188 foot-pounds. The rear axle transmits power to the wheels that drive the vehicle. It consists of two sections, referred to as half shafts, which are linked by the differential. In most instances, rear axles are active components that turn along with the wheels of the vehicle. If one of your axles is damaged, it is crucial not to operate the car as it is unsafe. If you notice unusual noises like bumping, clicking, or grinding while turning, your axle may not be broken yet, but failure could be imminent. Should your axle fail, there is a risk of losing control of the car, potentially leading to an accident or crash.
