Abstract:
A method for making a differential gear casing (22) flow forms a first casing half (30) and forms a second casing half (32), both with hemispherical portions (34 and 52) and with radial flanges (36 and 56) with the latter also having an axial projection (58). An interior positioning surface (38) of the first casing half (30) and an exterior positioning surface (60) of the second casing half (32) position the casing halves with respect to each other.

Abstract:
A coupling assembly including an annular housing, an inner member and a plurality of coupling components is provided. The coupling components include a coupling pack, an actuator and springs between the actuator and the inner member. A set of retainers in the form of retaining tabs hold the coupling components as well as the inner member within the housing.
Abstract:
Different embodiments of a vehicle differential casing assembly (22a, 22b and 23c) have first and second casing halves laser welded to each other to mount and secure an associated annular ring gear (28a, 28b, 28c).
