<p>PURPOSE: To provide a structure to minimize the deflection of bearing supports during the use by mounting a differential carrier having a plurality of bearing supports on a banjo type axle housing. CONSTITUTION: A rim plate 20 having an opening 21 to receive a carrier 30 and a differential is attached to an axle housing 11. A plurality of tabs extending within the axle housing are formed about the circumference of the rim plate. When the carrier is assembled to the rim plate and the axle housing, the bearing supports 33 thereof are inserted within the opening 21 formed through the rim plate. As the carrier is inserted, the bearing supports formed thereon are guided by the tabs formed on the rim plate. The tabs are engaged with the bearing supports and support the bearing supports. As a result, torque loads generated by operation of the differencial are transferred to the axle housing, and deflection of the bearing supports is minimized.</p> |
