MAN 64353016002 axle housing

Description

The axle housing is a critical component of the drivetrain system, providing a secure and protective enclosure for the axle shafts, gears, and bearings. It is commonly used in heavy-duty vehicles, specifically MAN trucks, to transmit power from the engine to the wheels. This MAN axle housing, with MPN 64353016002, is manufactured in Germany and is designed for robust performance and durability. Its dimensions are 260 x 370 x 540 mm. The housing's construction ensures efficient power transfer, reduces vibration, and protects vital components from external contaminants, ultimately contributing to increased vehicle reliability and longevity.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, the axle housing is the metal shell that holds all the important bits of the axle assembly – things like the gears, bearings, and the axles themselves. It's a pretty strong piece, designed to withstand a lot of stress. It supports the weight of the vehicle, keeps everything aligned, and protects those internal components from dirt, water, and damage. Think of it as the backbone of your car's ability to put power to the wheels. It connects the differential to the wheels, allowing the engine’s power to actually move the vehicle. It’s part of the whole drivetrain, working with the transmission, driveshaft, and so on. You'll notice if something is wrong with the housing because it directly impacts how smoothly and efficiently the power gets to the wheels. It basically allows the wheels to turn with controlled power.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's super important because it keeps everything secure and protected. The housing acts like a shield for all those delicate, expensive gears inside. If the housing is damaged – bent, cracked, or rusted through – it can cause a whole heap of problems. You could end up with vibrations, strange noises, difficulty steering, or even a complete failure of the axle. It’s definitely something you don't want to ignore. A good one will last a long time, but if yours is showing signs of wear, it's best to get it sorted. You can find replacements, and a lot of folks get what they need from places like Fixparts Online, but make sure you get the correct one for your vehicle.
