Vibration damper

The rear axle drive pinion receives power from the engine through the transaxle and driveshaft. The drive pinion gear rotates the differential
drive gear which is bolted to the axle housing outer flange. Inside the axle housing, two differential pinion gears are mounted on a
differential shaft which is pinned to the axle housing. These differential pinion gears are engaged with the differential side gears to which
the axle shafts are splined. As the differential gear turns, it rotates the axle shafts and rear wheels.

When it is necessary for one wheel and axle shaft to rotate faster than the other, the faster turning differential side gear causes the
differential pinion gears to roll on the slower turning differential side gear. This allows differential action between the two axle shafts.

The vibration damper is designed to damp driveshaft boom. It is bolted to the rear differential vibration damper bracket which in turn is
bolted to the rear axle.
