A system comprising:
- a split differential housing bisected at an axis on a vertical plane, the split differential housing comprising a first housing member coupled to a second housing member at an interface centered on the vertical plane, wherein the axis is coaxial with a central axis of a drive axle.
A drive axle comprising:
- a differential unit coupled to a first axle half shaft and a second axle half shaft, the first axle half shaft and the second axle half shaft rotating on a rotational axis;
- and
- a split differential housing enclosing and rotatably supporting the differential unit, the split differential housing bisected on a vertical plane axially aligned with the rotational axis.
A system comprising:
- a drive axle comprising a differential unit;
- and
- a split differential housing comprising a first housing member coupled to a second housing member, and a first axle half shaft mount and a second axle half shaft mount configured to rotatably support the drive axle, wherein the first axle half shaft mount and the second axle half shaft mount are bisected between the first housing member and the second housing member.
