The rear axle of your typical front-wheel drive car can be considered a dead axle. There's a lot of trucks & trailers that use dead axles for specific load bearing purposes - nothing else.

Every car pitches when it goes into a corner. The pitch represents the number of degrees the car tilts when it turns. The higher the pitch, the more the car is considered to roll.
