A differential comprises a housing having a spider mounted therein and four pinion gears rotatably mounted on stub shafts of the spider in a conventional manner. A semi-spherically shaped thrust washer is disposed between an outboard side of each of the pinion gears and the housing and has an elongated slot formed therethrough and disposed entirely within the confines of the thrust washer. A pin is secured to the housing and extends into the slot to anchor the thrust washer relative to the housing.
