Abstract
Methods and systems for an axle are described. The axle may be a steering axle that is coupled to wheels that may move to change a steering angle of a vehicle. In one example, the axle includes two bearings that are arranged similarly so as to reduce a height of an axle. The two bearings may be tapered wheel bearings so that vertical and lateral wheel loads may be supported via an actual total of two bearings per wheel.
