ABSTRACT:
A differential assembly for a vehicle comprises four pinions mounted on respective identical carrier pins mounted at 90.degree. intervals in a carrier member. The pins are screwed into correspondingly screwed sockets tightened to a predetermined torque and locked in position by respective locking pins which engage undercuts formed in respective pins. Catastrophic failure due to single pin failure is thereby avoided.
