Abstract: A rigid cambered drive axle has a straight rigid housing for the two drive axles and a cambered spindle, integral with the end of the housing, for supporting a wheel hub. A drive in each inside of the housing turns a cambered drive plate through a direction changing ball joint. The drive axle and the cambered spindle each have an axis that intersects the other at the direction changing drive ball joint. The axle housing is provided with internal bearing seats concentric with the drive ball joint. The axle housing is provided with internal bearing seats concentric with the drive axle and with the external bearing seats concentric with the wheel hub. The spindle supports the wheel hub at a degree of camber equal to the angle formed by the intersection of the central axes of the spindle and the drive axle, whereby the degree of camber of the wheel hub is kept constant.
