REAR AXLE AND FINAL DRIVE
DESCRIPTION
The hub bearings are fitted with inner and outer seals.
The outer seals prevent the differential oil mixing with
the hub grease and the inner seals prevent dirt
ingress into the hub.
The welded steel rear axle casing houses a separate
spiral bevel type differential unit, which is off set to the
right of the vehicle centre line. The differential unit
drives the rear wheels via the axle shafts and fully
floating hubs which are mounted on tapered roller
bearings.
Ventilation
Ventilation of the hub bearings is through the outer oil
seals and the differential ventilation pipe, which
terminates at a high level.
Lubrication
The differential is lubricated with oil and the hub
bearings with grease.
