摘要： A peripheral flange formed on a differential case for mounting a ring gear and the peripheral flange is provided with a plurality of cast-in bolt holes for bolting up the ring gear to the differential case using the lost foam casting process for making the differential case. A method of making a gear case eliminates the process of machining of the bolt holes in the differential case casting, thus reducing cost of manufacturing the differential case.

摘要： A method and apparatus to independently measure the bearing pre-load of a pinion gear and differential case an assembled axle assembly. The ring gear and pinion gear are positioned within a backlash so that there is no engagement therebetween. The pinion shaft and differential case are rotated independently in synchronization maintaining the relative positions and the torque to rotate the pinion shaft and differential case are independently measured.

摘要： An axle assembly for a motor vehicle comprises an axle housing having a central axis and first and second openings formed through the axle housing opposite to each other, a carrier with a differential bearing support supporting a differential thereon for rotation about the central axis, and an abutment member attached to the axle housing adjacent to the first opening to extend substantially in a direction of the central axis. The carrier is fastened to the axle housing adjacent to the second opening therein. The abutment member engages the differential bearing support and absorbs a gear separating force imparted in operation by the differential and transmitted to the differential bearing support. Thus, the abutment member restrains deflection of the differential bearing support relative to the axle housing resulting from the gear separating force.
