Differential Carrier Assembly Description: General

The differential carrier assembly is located in the rear subframe and the drive shafts extend from it to each respective rear wheel. The final drive gear consists of a hypoid gear and a differential. The assembly is bolted to the subframe with 4 bolts.

The splines-equipped pinion shaft for the final drive gear is directly inserted into the disc cage for the differential.

During manufacture the differential carrier assembly is filled with oil, which then does not require changing. The correct type of oil must be used without exception when filling. The incorrect type of oil may destroy the differential. The differential is fully mechanical.
