The front axle is designed to be wider on the front. I think GM decided that it gave you more tracking ability than having the rears follow the front groove or path. Did that make sense? Maybe someone else can explain it better..........

What pont said. But I also believe in a turn one of the rear tires would actually follow the path of one of the front tires say in snowy conditions and thus increase traction.
