The MAN 81351140092 Planet Carrier is a critical component within the drivetrain system, specifically designed for differentials and main gears. It’s responsible for housing and supporting the pinion gears, enabling efficient power transfer to the wheels. This part is made in Germany and measures 72 x 225 x 225 mm. Its robust construction ensures exceptional durability and reliability under heavy loads, contributing to a smoother and more efficient driving experience, while reducing wear and tear on other drivetrain components. Basically, the planet carrier is a key component inside your differential. It holds what we call “planet gears”. Those gears rotate and allow power to be distributed to the wheels, letting them spin at different speeds when you go around a corner. It's a pretty complex piece, but that's the core of what it does – manages how power gets sent to the wheels. Think of your differential as the thing that lets your car turn without the wheels fighting each other. The planet carrier is right in the middle of all that, keeping everything spinning smoothly. It’s part of the gearset that takes the power from your engine and actually gets it to the axles. It really is central to how the drivetrain functions. If this thing goes bad, you’ll notice pretty quickly. You’ll likely hear whining or clunking sounds coming from the rear end, especially while turning. It can cause vibration, and eventually, complete failure of the differential. Ignoring it can lead to way more expensive repairs down the line. It acts like a shield for the other gears in the differential, taking a lot of the stress. We carry these at Fixparts Online, and honestly, replacing it when you first detect a problem is usually a lot cheaper than replacing the whole differential. It’s a crucial part to keep your vehicle running properly, and a relatively common repair item over time. Satisfaction guaranteed: Planet Carrier (MPN 81351140092) comes with a 12-month warranty!
