11716564 Volvo Construction DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING

This part basically holds all the gears that make up your differential – things like the pinion gear, the ring gear, spider gears, side gears, all of it. It's a pretty strong casting, usually iron or aluminum, and it provides the structural support for those gears to do their job. It also houses the bearings and seals that keep everything running smoothly and lubricated. Think of it as the skeleton for the differential’s moving parts. The differential housing is a key part of your vehicle’s drivetrain. The whole differential’s job is to allow your wheels to turn at different speeds when you're going around corners. One wheel always has to travel further than the other, and without a differential, things would bind up and cause a lot of stress. The housing keeps everything aligned and contained so that happens smoothly. It’s directly bolted to your vehicle’s axles and connects to the driveshaft, so it’s right in the power flow. It’s pretty important because it’s literally holding everything together. If the housing cracks or gets damaged, the whole differential can fail, causing a whole bunch of problems – loss of power, weird noises, or even complete inability to move the vehicle. It acts like a shield, protecting those sensitive internal gears from dirt, debris, and impact. You’ll notice if something is going wrong with the housing pretty quickly. Usually, it'll be a whining or grinding noise coming from under the vehicle, especially when turning. You can find a replacement differential housing online at places like Fixparts Online if you need one. It’s one of those parts you don’t think about until it is a problem, but it’s vital for a functioning vehicle. One size fits all: Differential Housing (MPN VOE11716564) has a 12-month warranty!
