ABSTRACT:
A method of assembling a motor vehicle differential of the type including a cup-shaped carrier having an open end, differential pinions and side gears in the carrier, and a unitary plastic separator defining thrust bearings between the carrier and the differential pinions and side gears. A pair of inner bosses are formed on the carrier, each having a spherical bearing seat. A module, consisting of the differential pinions and the side gears in operative relationship within the plastic separator, is preassembled remote from the carrier. The module is advanced into the carrier through the open end of the latter with the differential pinions angularly indexed relative to the bosses for clearance. When the center of the module coincides with a geometric center of the carrier, the module is rotated relative to the carrier to align the differential pinions with the spherical bearing seats.
