Abstract
A differential gear for distribution of torque between a forward driven wheel shaft and a rear driven wheel shaft on a vehicle in which the rear wheel shaft can be raised has an input shaft (3) which via differential pinions (6) is in engagement with a rear differential wheel (7) connected to an output shaft (4). The input shaft (3) and the rear differential wheel (7) are mutually supported via a bearing (15) which transmits axial forces between them. This bearing is fitted with preloading to eliminate axial play.
