Differential carrier assembly

摘要

A differential carrier assembly includes a differential carrier and a differential casing having a ring gear that is supported on right and left differential bearings for rotation about a differential axis. The right and left differential bearings are each supported in respective right and left bearing housings. A pinion having a pinion gear meshes with the ring gear and includes a spigot positioned on a differential axis side of the pinion gear. The spigot is supported in a spigot bearing, and the spigot bearing is supported in a spigot bearing housing. One of the right or left bearing housings and the spigot bearing housing are formed on a common component which is separate from and securable to the differential carrier.
