3. DRIVE AXLE
3.1.1 DIFFERENTIAL Figure 3.3 shows the construction of the differential where a cross case, ring gear, drive pinion, etc, are installed on the differential carrier. The differential carrier is installed in the axle housing through packings. The cross case is a separate type in which side gears are engaged with pinions on the spider. The drive pinion supported by two taper roller bearings, is housed in the bearing cage which is installed on the differential carrier through shims and packings. The ring gear is a spiral bevel type, which is attached to the cross case with bolts. The ring gear and the drive pinion reduces the rotation from the transmission.
