Abstract: An axle assembly with an axle housing with a pair of bearing journals, a differential assembly disposed between the bearing journals, a pair of differential bearings and a pair of hollow adjusters that can be threaded into the bearing journals to preload the differential bearings and control gear lash between a pinion and a ring gear. Retaining members can be non-rotatably engage to the hollow adjusters and can be press-fit into counterbores in the outboard sides of the bearing journals. The axle housing can include an unitarily formed differential housing with a body and an axle tube structure, and a first axle tube that can be discretely formed and coupled to the body.

Abstract: A torque transmitting component that includes a hollow adjuster that is employed to preload and/or position a bearing that supports a differential assembly relative to a housing. One of the housing and the adjuster includes a first engagement feature and the other one of the housing and the adjuster includes a second engagement feature. A retaining member is press-fit to the first engagement feature and is non-rotatably coupled to the second engagement feature to inhibit rotation of the adjuster relative to the housing. A method is also provided.

Abstract: A wheel speed measurement system for a drive axle is provided within a differential assembly. The system includes a differential side bearing adjustment ring configured for adjusting the position of a differential carrier bearing assembly. A tone ring is provided having an inner bore to accommodate a coaxial axle shaft. A retainer ring member is snap-fit between the differential side bearing adjustment ring and the tone ring, permitting relative rotation of the tone ring. Sensors are provided in sensor mounts integrally formed on an exterior of a differential assembly housing.

Abstract: An arrangement for securely retaining a cross pin within a differential assembly includes a cross pin having a groove positioned proximate a recess formed in a differential housing. The recess and the groove define a retention passageway at least partially filled with molten resin. Solidified resin material positioned within the retention passageway retains the cross pin in the differential housing. Another embodiment cross pin retention system includes a pair of locking clips coupled to the cross pin. Each of the pinion gears of the differential assembly is retained between one of the locking clips and the differential housing.
