Rotational energy is then conveyed to the pinion gear found in the axle. Then, the pinion gear drives a much larger diameter gear referred to as a ring gear, which is attached to a differential ...

Jump to insight Most powertrain warranties — factory or extended — cover rear differential replacements because they’re part of the drive axle. Jump to insight If you’re out of factory ...

Once the front wheels are free of the axles and can turn freely and independently, they have no need for a differential, so ...

Mention is then made of the axle gearing and data given showing the end thrust for straight-tooth bevel pinions. The methods of supporting pinions and of attaching bevel gears to the differential are ...

This design elevates the axle's centerline, lifting the differential higher relative to the wheel mounting surface while simultaneously lowering the wheels in relation to the differential and axle ...
