Abstract
A modular unitized differential for drive axles of motor vehicles includes a barrel-shaped differential case and a bowl-shaped ring gear. The ring gear is adapted to be selectively positioned relative to the differential case for fastening in a specific position in accordance with the needed gear spacing. The arrangement allows to accommodate different gear ratios between the ring gear and input gear.
