ABSTRACT:
A final speed-reduction gearing assembly is mounted within a trans-axle casing which carries an output drive pinion shaft thereon, the gearing assembly comprising a ring gear in mesh with a drive pinion integral with the drive pinion shaft, and a differential gear unit integrally connected at the outer case thereof with the ring gear, the outer case of the unit being rotatably supported at the opposite ends thereof by first and second axially spaced bearings which are respectively mounted on first and second carrier portions of the trans-axle casing. A retainer member is arranged to fasten the first bearing to the first carrier portion of the casing and to be radially detachable for adjustment of a preload axially acting on the bearings, and an annular shim plate is disposed between the first bearing and the first carrier portion in such a way as to be removable radially for adjustment of the preload.
