Abstract
A differential assembly according to the invention and indicated generally by the reference numeral comprises a differential housing containing a spider on which are rotatably mounted a number of planet bevel gears which rotatably engage the bevel gears which are spline mounted on the output shafts. The output shafts are connected via articulating joints to propshafts that are driveably connected to the road wheels of the vehicle. The vehicle engine drives a propshaft by means of various gear mechanisms. This propshaft is connected to the differential assembly input shaft by means of a coupling on the input shaft so as to transmit torque to the differential assembly by means of a pinion gear on the input shaft. The pinion gear meshes with a crown wheel bevel gear which is mounted on the differential housing so as to transmit the engine torque to the housing. The crown wheel bevel gear has gear teeth which face away from the differential assembly spider thus providing a relatively large offset between the axis of the input shaft and the axis of the spider.
