ABSTRACT:
A drive axle assembly is provided in which the differential cross-shaft supporting the differential gears is driven directly by the ring gear. The assembly reduces loading on the differential case to which the ring gear is attached thereby enabling the use of low capacity joints between the ring gear and differential case and/or a lighter differential case.
