The present off-highway vehicle market demands low cost and light weight component to meet the need of cost effective vehicle with fuel efficient. This in turn gives the rise to more effective use of materials for vehicle parts which can reduce the overall weight with enhanced utility of vehicle for various applications. In tractor industry, many casting components always suffer dynamic load with less frequency and very high amplitude which may cause the potential danger. Due to brittle behavior of the material, such component can break suddenly without any apparent caution. During the service life, dynamic forces caused by the road surface roughness produce dynamic stresses and these force lead to fatigue failure of axle shaft and its housing, which is the main load carrying part of the assembly. The weight is reduced by changing the front axle design slightly without sacrificing its strength. By minimizing the weight of the component the fuel consumption rate is reduced by 5-10%.the design was done using CATIA and meshed in HYPERMESH software module. The meshed model was solved in ANSYS software.
