AXLES
FRONT
1st axle, steering, in cast iron with doble reduction, central bycrown wheel and pinion, lateral by epicyclical group in wheel hubs. 2nd axle, steering, in cast iron with doble reduction, central by crown wheel and pinion, lateral by epicyclical group in wheel hubs. The axle is fitted with distributor that distributes torque between the 1st and 2nd axles. 1st and 2nd axle wheel stud protection.
