Overview
The ZF 2093.117.050 REAR AXLE HOUSING is a critical structural component within the final drive assembly of heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part encloses the differential and axle shafts, providing the rigid support necessary to transfer torque from the transmission to the wheels. As the central load-bearing shell, it maintains precise gear alignment under extreme stress. The SKU 2093.117.050 is specifically engineered to withstand the high shock loads common in earthmoving equipment, ensuring the entire driveline remains sealed and properly lubricated.
Symptoms of Failure
- Visible oil seepage around the housing seams: When the rear axle housing cracks or its sealing surfaces warp, transmission fluid leaks onto the axle tubes, often leading to low lubricant levels and eventual gear damage.
- Unusual whining or grinding from the rear axle: A compromised housing allows the 2099109030: DIFFERENTIAL to shift out of alignment, causing metal-on-metal contact that produces a distinct, load-dependent noise.
- Premature bearing failure in the axle assembly: Distortion in the housing bore creates uneven loading on the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING, resulting in rapid wear and excessive play at the wheel hub.
- Vibration during low-speed turning: A bent or cracked housing disrupts the mesh pattern of the 2093209094: DIFFERENTIAL gears, producing cyclic vibrations felt through the chassis during tight maneuvers.

Compatibility
This rear axle housing is designed for ZF’s heavy-duty powershift transmission series. It is a direct fit for the WG180 and WG200 models commonly used in wheel loaders and graders. The housing also integrates with the WG150 series when paired with the correct 2093309078: DIFF.HOUSING adapter kit. For applications requiring reinforced load capacity, verify axle tube length against your specific machine model before installation.
