| 3 | Differential assembly |
| 4 | Differential carrier bolts |
The differential assembly is built into the transmission housing.
The drive torque is transmitted to the differential by the differential carrier which is bolted to it.
The differential assembly contains differential pinion gears mounted on a spindle and the axle halfshaft pinion gears which connect to the front wheel axle halfshafts through helical gearing.
The axle halfshaft pinion gears can revolve around the differential pinion gears when the road wheel speeds are different (e.g when cornering).
