ABSTRACT:
A banjo-type axle housing includes a hollow central member having a pair of hollow tubes extending outwardly therefrom. Forwardly and rearwardly facing openings are formed in the central member, each having triangularly shaped side portions located adjacent to the tubes. In a first embodiment, a pair of triangularly shaped support plates are disposed within the side portions and secured to the central member so as to completely close them. In a second embodiment, a pair of modified baffle plates are provided, each including a central baffle portion having an opening formed therethrough and a pair of triangularly shaped side portions formed integrally with the central baffle portion. The side portions are bent so as to extend generally perpendicular relative to the central baffle portion. The modified baffle plates are secured to the central member of the axle housing and perform the functions of the separate baffle plates and side portions of the first axle housing.
