Abstract
A differential for a motor vehicle drivetrain includes a ring gear configured for receiving a power input; a first side gear on a first side of the differential configured for being drivingly connected to the first axle to transmit power to the first axle for driving a first wheel of the motor vehicle drivetrain; a second side gear on a second side of the differential configured for being drivingly connected to the second axle to transmit power to the first axle for driving a second wheel of the motor vehicle drivetrain; support pins non-rotatably fixed to the ring gear; and spider gears rotatably mounted on the support pins and positioned between the first side gear and the second side gear. Each of the spider gears intermeshes with both the first side gear and the second side gear to transmit power from the support pins to the first side gear and the second side gear. The differential also includes a carrier formed by stamped plates non-rotatably fixed to the ring gear and configured for transmitting power from the ring gear to the support pins.
