CA 2486516

Mechanisms for preventing sway and distributing uneven forces applied on an axle in a moving vehicle are described. An axle tube is segmented into three components: two end segments and a middle segment. Spindle shafts extend from the end segments into the middle segment but do not come into direct contact with one another. Portions of the spindle shaft that are in the middle segment are press-fitted in the middle segment using inserts. The middle segment of the axle tube free to rotate. The inserts allow for interaction between both ends of the spindle shafts such that a rotational force applied to one spindle shaft is communicated to another spindle shaft. The amount of anti-sway capability desired can be calibrated by adjusting the length of the inserts and shafts in the axle tube and the materials and density of the various components.
