ABSTRACT:
An improved inter-axle differential is provided that eliminates the need for a differential case to retain the differential gears. A thrust washer and a retaining ring are disposed on each arm of a differential spider to retain a corresponding differential gear. The combination of the thrust washer and the retaining ring reduces the complexity and the weight of conventional inter-axle differential assemblies and enables improved splash lubrication of the differential.
