DESCRIPTION

The differential, consisting of a reduction pair (1) and a differential casing (2) including crown wheels and side pinions, is different from that of the 2.4 V6 vehicle in that the differential casing is a single piece.

The differential casing is fixed to the cylindrical crown gear by screws (8) and is supported by two tapered bearings (5 and 3).

The odometer idling control gear is connected to the outer surface of the casing.

The play between crown wheels and side pinions is pre-determined and cannot be adjusted as the crown wheels are installed in the casing without shims. Therefore the washers between the pinions and differential casing only serve to prevent slipping. On the other hand the pre-load adjustment system of the differential taper bearings is similar to that in use on other groups which are already known; in other words it employs variable thickness rings (3) which are placed below the relevant seal cover (4).
