A wall of the housing has one or more windows that provide access to the gearset(s). One or more protuberances are situated at an exterior surface of the wall and near the window(s). The protuberance(s) provide a thickened portion in the wall to strengthen and reinforce the wall against stresses experienced during use of the vehicle differential.
