ABSTRACT:
The drive axles of a motor vehicle differential assembly are secured within the central bores provided in the side gears of the differential assembly by a spherical retention means which preferably is a metal ball that is securely held within a spherically-hollowed region created through the communication of a spherical bore provided in the splined end portions of the drive axles and a spherically-walled end portion of an elongated cavity provided in the splined central bores of the side gears. The spherically-walled end portion communicates with a cylindrically-walled region of the elongated cavity that facilitates insertion of the retention means into the elongated cavity.
