Front-wheel drive car.

*The FWD platform is used in many reliable vehicles ,such as a Honda Accord or Toyota Camry. * FWD mean that the two forward vehicles are responsible for moving the car .

Main points.
1-Parts of FWD & how does it work.

2-Advantages .
3-Disadvantages . 4-FWD VS RWD .

*PARTS OF FWD.
1-gear box.
it take the motion from the engine and we can modify the received velocity on it

2-differential.
it is apart mounted by bolts downward the gear box and take the output motion from the gear box and deliver it to the drive shafts (CV joints).

3-drive shafts.
it take the motion from the differential to the two vehicles.

*ADVANTAGES.
1- Front-wheel drive is more speedy than rear wheel drive car because of the mechanical losses reduces due to short distance between the engine and the differential . 2-Economic in using petrol due to the push power is nearby to the engine. 3-It is also lighter than the rearwheel drive.

*DISADVANTAGES.
1- FWD depends on drive shafts which contain CV joints which allow the vehicles to move in all directions that have a lot of defects. 2-Expensive maintenance. 3-Difficulty to direct the car when we start moving with high speed. 4- Unbalanced car because the mass is concentrated at the forward part of the car only

*FWD VS RWD
1- Load on tires
*The biggest benefit to rear wheel drive is that it spreads the loads of the car across all four tires of a car , the rear wheel do the pushing while the front wheels are for the steering duties . * In front wheel drive cars the front tires must perform both functions , the engine acceleration\deceleration forces act on the front wheels thats beside the steering duties.

2- Better weight balance

*Rear wheel drive cars have the engine in the front and the drive components in the rear , but the front drive cars have every thing up front . *So by balancing the front and rear of the car you can improve the handling, acceleration, braking and thus safety of the car .

3-Torque Steer
*Front wheel Drive cars have a problem known as Torque Steer. This occurs when the acceleration of the engine effects the cars steering . Since the driveline is connected to the steering wheels the torque of the engine applies force to the front wheels causing the car to pull to the right during acceleration. *Rear Drive cars do not have this problem since the engine is not connected to the steering gear.
