ZF 2094.117.007 REAR AXLE HOUS. | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2094.117.007 REAR AXLE HOUS. is a critical structural component engineered for heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part serves as the primary enclosure for the rear axle assembly, supporting the differential, final drives, and axle shafts within ZF powerline transmissions. Designed to withstand extreme torsional loads and harsh operating environments, the housing ensures precise alignment of internal gears and bearings. The SKU 2094.117.007 is manufactured to ZF’s exacting tolerances, providing a direct replacement that restores original drivetrain integrity. This component integrates seamlessly with the 2094101017: TRANSMISSION HOUSING to form the complete gearcase assembly, while the 2094301069: HOUSING and 2094298054: HOUSING work in tandem to protect adjacent planetary gear sets.

Symptoms of Failure

• Hydraulic oil seepage from axle housing seals: Cracks or porosity in the 2094.117.007 housing allow transmission fluid to escape, often pooling near the wheel hubs or differential cover. This is a common long-tail search query for “ZF rear axle housing oil leak repair.”
• Abnormal gear whine or grinding during turns: A warped or fractured housing misaligns the differential pinion gears, producing metallic noises under load. Operators searching “ZF WG200 rear axle noise diagnosis” will find this symptom relevant.
• Premature bearing failure in final drives: Distortion of the housing bore causes uneven bearing loading, leading to rapid wear. This manifests as vibration at speeds above 15 km/h, a key indicator for “construction machinery axle housing failure symptoms.”
• Contaminated transmission fluid with metallic debris: Internal housing cracks allow gear fragments to circulate, visible during oil changes. This symptom often triggers queries like “metal shavings in ZF transmission oil causes.”

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This rear axle housing is specifically designed for ZF WG series powershift transmissions used in wheel loaders, graders, and telehandlers. It directly fits the following models:

• ZF WG180 (all variants)
• ZF WG200 (including WG200-5 and WG200-6)
• ZF WG210 (early production runs)
• ZF 4WG-200 (four-speed versions)

When replacing the 2094.117.007, always install a new 0636302008: SCREW PLUG to seal the fill port, and inspect the 2094301071: COVER for wear. The housing mates directly with the 2094301030: GASKET to prevent fluid migration between compartments.
