Not to put too fine a point on it (which I'll do anyway), but you mean 
halfshaft or axle.  If the wheel was perpendicular to the driveshaft the car 
could only go around in circles, and rather dynamically-unstable circles they 
would be too!  Also (not putting too fine a point on it), it pertains only to 
swing axles, not to the Rotoflex suspension GT6+ and early GT6 Mk3.
