FRONT AXLE AND FINAL DRIVE
Lubrication
The differential, swivel pin housing and wheel hubs
are indiviudally lubricated and separated by oil seals
(7)
and (8), see J6267A, to prevent oil transfer across
the axle when the vehicle is traversing steep inclines.
The wheel bearings are lubricated with grease and the
swivel housing and differential with oil. On later
vehicles, identified by having only a filler plug in the
swivel housing, grease is used to lubricate the
housing assembly,
Ventilation
Ventilation of the differential is through a plastic pipe
(2)
which terminates at a high level in the vehicle axle.
The swivel housings ventilate through axle shaft oil
seals (8) into the differential and the hub bearings
vent via the oil seals into the swivel housing.
