A differential having a first side gear, a second side gear, and a fastener assembly to restrain the first and second side gears against axial movement. The first and second side gears each include an abutment face and a passage. The fastener assembly includes a bolt and a nut. The bolt has a shaft passing through the passages and a head operatively engaging one of the abutment faces of the side gears. The nut is coupled to the bolt and operatively engages the other abutment face. The invention is also directed to an independent axle differential having a ring gear rotatable about an axis, a geared pinion coupled to rotate with and relative to the ring gear, the first and second side gears and fastener assembly discussed above, and first and second output shafts. The first and second output shafts are disposed in the cavity and coupled to rotate with the first and second side gears, respectively, and each have a shaft end located proximate to one of the bolt head and nut.

A lightweight limited slip differential for a tubular or independent axle assembly. The differential biases the torque applied to the wheels through clutch rings engaged on the pinions. The pinions include a mating surface that engage a similar profile on the clutch rings. The clutch rings may be frictionally restrained or coupled together so that the pinion movement is restrained to bias the torque between the wheels.

A transverse leaf spring structure and a manufacturing method for a composite transverse leaf spring is disclosed. The leaf spring is formed using a pre-formed tubular fiberglass fabric comprising longitudinally aligned and braided fiberglass fibers. The fabric is installed over an interior form, such as one or more inflatable bladders, and positioned within a forming mold. After resin is applied and cured to an appropriate stiffness within the mold, the mold is removed. The interior form is then removed from the composite leaf spring.
