1. A differential gear assembly comprising:
a differential casing defining first and second output shaft openings that are co-axially aligned along an axis of rotation of the differential casing; a first and a second side gear rotatably mounted within the differential casing, the first and second side gears being co-axially aligned along the axis of rotation of the differential casing, the first side gear defining a first shaft opening configured to provide a first torque transmitting connection with a first output shaft received within the first output shaft opening, the second side gear defining a second output shaft opening configured to provide a second torque transmitting connection with a second output shaft received within the second output shaft opening; a pair of pinion gears mounted between the first and second side gears, both of the pinion gears being rotatably mounted on a cross shaft that is fixed for rotation with the differential casing; a clutch pack including a plurality of annular plates interleaved between a plurality of annular friction disks, the clutch pack arranged on a first side of the cross shaft; and an actuator assembly comprising a piston received in a piston housing, the actuator assembly configured to actuate the clutch pack, the actuator assembly arranged on a second side of the cross shaft, opposite the first side. |
