Abstract

An axle drive unit comprises a crown wheel (24) and pinion (25) assembly, with the crown wheel connected to a differential gearing housing outputs on an axis extending transversely of the axis of an input shaft on which the pinion is provided, has a housing comprising two parts (11, 12) joining one another at a joint face which is perpendicular to the axis (16) of the differential gearing outputs, and bearings (17 - 20) supporting the differential in the housing are located one in each housing part (10, 12). An arrangement is also discussed wherein the joint face of the housing parts is in a plane containing the differential axis and each of the bearings supporting the differential are located partly in one housing part and partly in the other housing part. <IMAGE>
