後輪の車軸の一種で、ホイール側では固定されていますが、トランスミッション側では上下に動くことができます。後輪は、バンプに当たったときに上下に動く代わりに、弧を描いて動きます。ビートルやコルヴァー、初期のポルシェなどの車では、高速でコーナリングしたときにホイールが車の下に潜り込む原因になることがあります。

A type of rear axle that is 'fixed' at the wheel (that is, it is not able to flex up or down), but is able to move up and down at the transmission end. It required the rear wheels to move in an arc, rather than vertically, when hitting bumps. in some cars (beetles and corvairs and some early porsches), it could cause the wheel to tuck under the car during high speed cornering.
