An axle assembly (12) including a differential gear set (26) having a ring gear (40). The axle assembly includes a carrier assembly housing (34) that contains the differential gear set and an arcuate fence (28) disposed adjacent to the ring gear that connects to the carrier assembly housing. A moveable plate (30) slidingly connects to the arcuate fence. The moveable plate has an open position, a closed position and a plurality of positions therebetween. The closed position is closer to the ring gear than the open position. The arcuate fence and/or the moveable plate may reduce churning of the lubrication to increase the cooling efficacy of the lubrication. |
