<p>A differential assembly for a vehicle comprises four pinions mounted on respective identical carrier pins (11) mounted at 90 DEG intervals in a carrier member (10). The pins (10) are screwed into correspondingly screwed sockets tightened to a predetermined torque and locked in position by respective locking pins (16) which engage undercuts (17) formed in respective pins. Catastrophic failure due to single pin failure is thereby avoided. <IMAGE></p> |
