assembly
is
of

the

semi

floating

type
in

which
the
vehicle

weight
is

carried
on
the
axle
shafts

through

bearings
enclosed
in
the

bear

ing
cages
on
outer

rear
axle

case
The

axle
case
is
a

pressed
steeJ

Banjo

type
housing

The

rear
axle

assembly
is

attached

to
the

and

telescopic
hydraulic
shock

absorbers

Rubber

bushings
at

either

end
of

the
leaf

springs
and
shock

absorbers

are

designed
to
absorb
vibra

tion
and
noise

The
rear

axle
shaft

splines

engage

the
differential

side

gears
with

a
float

ing
fit
The

outer
ends
are

supported

in
the

bearing
cages
by
tapered
roller

bearings

The

bearings
are
lubricated

by

wheel

bearing
grease
The
axle
shaft
oil

seals

are
located

outboard
and

inboard

of
the

bearing
The

bearings
are

se

cured

against
shoulders

on
the

and
held
in

place
by
a

large
nuts

The

bearing
cages
hold
the

bearings

against
shoulders
on
the
axle

case

Whee
side
thrust
is
taken

at
the

wheel

bearings

through
the
thrust

block
so
an
axle
shaft

may
be

re

moved

simply
