ZF 2095.043.002 REAR AXLE | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2095.043.002 REAR AXLE is a critical OEM genuine component designed for heavy-duty construction machinery drivelines. This assembly serves as the primary torque distribution hub within the final drive, transferring rotational force from the transmission to the wheel ends. As a structural backbone, the rear axle integrates directly with the differential housing and supports the entire axle load under extreme operating conditions. The SKU 2095.043.002 is precision-machined to ZF factory tolerances, ensuring seamless fitment in demanding earthmoving and material handling equipment.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil leaks at axle seals: Worn seals or housing cracks cause lubricant to weep from the hub, leading to low differential oil levels and accelerated gear wear.
• Excessive driveline vibration: A failing rear axle can produce rhythmic shaking during acceleration, often accompanied by a low-frequency hum from the axle housing.
• Uneven tire wear patterns: Misalignment or bearing play within the axle assembly causes scalloped or cupped wear on drive tires, reducing traction and tire life.
• Clunking noises on direction change: Worn splines or loose axle shafts create audible metallic impacts when shifting between forward and reverse.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This rear axle is engineered for ZF heavy-duty transmission families commonly used in construction loaders, graders, and dump trucks. It is a direct replacement for models in the WG180, WG200, and WG250 series. Additionally, it fits select ZF 4WG-200 and ZF 6WG-250 powershift transmissions. Always verify axle flange bolt pattern and spline count against your existing assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

When replacing the ZF 2095.043.002, always inspect the mating 2095309059: DIFF.HOUSING for cracks or wear. The axle shaft interfaces directly with the 2095109016: DIFFERENTIAL unit, and any play here will compromise driveline stability. Ensure the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING is replaced simultaneously to prevent premature axle failure. For complete differential rebuilds, pair this axle with the 2095209037: DIFFERENTIAL assembly to restore factory tolerances.
