ABSTRACT:
A structure for mounting a differential carrier having a plurality of bearing supports on a banjo type axle housing is provided for minimizing the amount of deflection of such bearing supports during use. The axle housing has a rim plate attached thereto including an opening which receives the carrier and the differential. A plurality of tabs are formed about the circumference of the rim plate, each extending within the axle housing. When the carrier is assembled to the rim plate and the axle housing, the bearing supports thereof are inserted within the opening formed through the rim plate. As the carrier is inserted, the bearing supports formed thereon are guided by the tabs formed on the rim plate. When the carrier is secured to the rim plate and the axle housing, the rim plate tabs engage and support the bearing supports. As a result, torque loads generated by operation of the differential are transferred to the axle housing, and deflection of the bearing supports is minimized.
