Page "Axle" Paragraph 8
from
Wikipedia
In split-axle designs, the wheel on each side is attached to a separate shaft.
Modern passenger cars have split drive axles.
In some designs, this allows independent suspension of the left and right wheels, and therefore a smoother ride.
Even when the suspension is not independent, split axles permit the use of a differential, allowing the left and right drive wheels to be driven at different speeds as the automobile turns, improving traction and extending tire life.
