ABSTRACT:
The invention is concerned with a drive assembly (8) comprising a differential (16). The differential (16) comprises a driving carrier (18) and two driven output gears (19) connected to joints (11) to driveshafts (12). The assembly (8) also comprises a coupling (48) by which one of the gears (19) may be connected directly to the carrier (18). The joint (11) associated with said gear (19) is positioned outside the differential (16) directly adjacent thereto and extends coaxially around an outer part (26) of the joint (11). An inner part of the coupling (48) is connected to the outer part of the joint (11) and an outer part (31) of the coupling is connectable to the carrier (18). The coupling (48) may be a viscous coupling.
