4B-6 REAR AXLE
REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
194 mm (7.6 in)
220 mm (8.6 in)
The rear axle assembly consists of the rear axle case, the differential carrier assembly, the rear hub assembly, and
the rear axle shaft.
The rear axle assembly supports the greater part of the vehicle weight including the load. It receives the engine
torque through the clutch, the transmission, and the propeller shaft, magnifies the torque at the final gear, and
delivers the torque at a right angle to the rear axle shaft.
