ABSTRACT:
A lubrication system of an axle assembly comprising a differential carrier rotatably supporting a differential case therewithin, an axle tube extending outwardly from the differential carrier, a bearing assembly for rotatably supporting the differential case within the differential carrier, and an annular drain-back baffle formed with a drain-back hole passing through the drain-back baffle and defining an oil delivery passage between the differential carrier and the axle tube. The drain-back baffle is selectively positioned within the axle assembly to provide changeable oil flow characteristics of the axle assembly. A method is provided for controlling flow of lubricant between a differential gear and an axle tube by selectively adjusting the position of the drain-back channel in order to provide the desired lubricant flow path.
