  • Limited slip differential and improved differential housing assembly therefor
    Patent number: 5938558
    Abstract: A differential housing assembly (11;81) including a first end cap (31;83) defining a plurality of openings (52,53,54;93). A housing (35;87,89) defines a plurality of tabs (72,73,74;95) which are received within the openings. Preferably, both the end cap and the housing comprise steel stampings, and the tabs are welded within the openings, such that the end cap and housing form an inexpensive, relatively light-weight, but extremely strong and durable differential housing assembly. In one embodiment, the housing member (35) is a generally U-shaped member, and in another embodiment, the housing (87) is a deep drawn tubular member.
