Abstract
A vehicle differential includes a housing, an input gear mounted to the housing so that the housing and input gear rotate together, a pinion shaft mounted in the housing, first and second pinion gears mounted on the pinion shaft, first and second side gears within the housing and engaged with the pinion gears, and a second gear mounted to the housing so that the second gear and the housing rotate together. Part of the second gear overlaps at least part of the pinion shaft and limits movement of the pinion shaft relative to the housing.
