Front Axle Assembly

The front axle assembly consists of a front axle housing, differential carrier, a left inner axle shaft and the left and right drive axle shafts. The front axle housing is mounted to the vehicle frame. The differential carrier is mounted in the right side of the front axle housing. The front propeller shaft turns the differential assembly which transfers engine power to the right and left drive axle shafts. The front axle housing is sealed and contains a synthetic gear lubricant which lubricates the differential assembly, left inner axle shaft and its support bearing. The front axle housing is also vented to prevent excessive heat buildup.
