Typically, 28-spline RangeR8.8 axles from the factory have 10" brakes, but some may have 9" or 10" brakes based on different options. This axle is responsible for transferring power to the wheels that drive the vehicle. It consists of two parts called half shafts, which are linked by the differential. Generally, rear axles are active, meaning they spin with the wheels of the vehicle. A malfunctioning rear differential can lead to vibrations, noises, and fluid leaks that affect the vehicle's performance and handling. Upon starting the vehicle and shifting into drive, there might be a rattling or clanking sound emanating from the rear of the vehicle, often due to issues with the drive shaft universal joints.
