The following are the forces acting on all of the car's axles. Consider the wheels, axles and the remainder of the car as three masses. The car's total weight (a vertical force) is supported by the ground under the wheels, with the load, minus the weight of the wheels, transferred through the wheel to the axle, and from the axle, minus the weight of the wheels and axle) to the rest of the car. Thus at the axle itself there are the upward support force (weight of car minus wheels) and the opposite downward weight force (weight of car minus wheels and axles). The difference of the two applied vertical forces is the weight of the axles.
In addition, assuming the car is accelerating forward, there are opposite and nearly equal horizontal acceleration forces. The force on the axles in the forward direction, exerted on the axles by the pavement via the wheels, is slightly greater than the inertial reaction force of the accelerating remainder of the car. This force difference is what accelerates the axles themselves. For deceleration (rearward acceleration) the analysis is similar.

you have at least two or more forces 1 being torsion and 2 flex . Torsion comes from the spining drive shaft and axles moving in opposite directions and Flex from the suspension. The other force that would seem correct would be Drag from the tires being drug across the ground during braking,But common since could also clissify that as flex.

load
gravity
centripetal force
centrifugal forces
force due to acceleration
thermal forces due to heat generation due to friction in axle shaft
bending stress forces
fatigue stress forces
force due to air resistance
& many more forces most of which would be negligible

i flunked physics 2 but lets see...
torque of the spinning wheels
gravity pulling it down
friction
rust
mud
water
but then again i'm no physics person
