MEANS OF SECURING AN AXLE TO FRAME

摘要

MEANS FOR SECURING AN AXLE TO FRAME A vehicle axle-frame mounting has a vehicle frame portion having transversely aligned generally inverted U-shaped wells. A transverse axle includes a differential casing and tubular section extending laterally and opposite from the casing. A mounting member is formed on each tubular section to be received in a respective frame well to have a generally horizontally extending interface and in spaced-apart relationship to the sidewalls of the well. A plurality of cap screws are threadably received in the lower portion of each well's sidewall such that the head of corresponding cap screws capture the lower portion of a respective mounting member therebetween.
