Overview
The ZF 2095.117.034 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 2095.117.034 is engineered to ZF’s exacting tolerances, ensuring a direct fit and long service life in demanding environments. This housing works in concert with the 2095109015: DIFFERENTIAL and the 2095209037: DIFFERENTIAL to form the core of the rear axle assembly.
Symptoms of Failure
- Oil leaks from axle housing seals: Cracks or warping in the housing allow gear oil to escape, leading to low lubricant levels and potential overheating.
- Excessive drivetrain noise (howling or grinding): A damaged housing can misalign the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING, causing uneven gear wear and audible distress during operation.
- Vibration during acceleration or turning: Structural fatigue in the housing compromises the mounting points for the 2095309059: DIFF.HOUSING, resulting in driveline shudder.
- Wheel end play or misalignment: A deformed housing cannot maintain proper axle geometry, leading to uneven tire wear and reduced traction control.

Compatibility
This rear axle housing is designed for use in ZF’s heavy-duty transmission series, specifically the WG180, WG200, and WG250 models commonly found in wheel loaders, graders, and dump trucks. It is a direct replacement for the original housing in these assemblies. When rebuilding, always inspect the 0631329086: SPRING PIN and 0730300820: THRUST WASHER for wear, as these are frequently replaced alongside the housing.
