bridges
I think axles is fine, but just out of interest, I did come across a couple of publications which actually used the word "bridges" to mean "axle" I put in a couple of links to them just for you to look at.

The invention relates to an automotive vehicle with a telescopic load carrying arm, of the type comprising a rigid chassis carried by two front and rear bridges provided with wheels and a driver's cab mounted on said rigid chassis.
