ZF 2095.117.038 REAR AXLE HOUS. | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2095.117.038 REAR AXLE HOUS. (SKU: 2095.117.038) serves as the primary structural casing for the rear drive axle assembly in heavy-duty construction machinery. This OEM genuine part encloses the differential and final drive gears, providing rigid support and precise alignment for rotating components. As the central load-bearing member, it withstands extreme torsional forces and shock loads during excavation, grading, and material handling operations. The housing integrates directly with the axle shafts and suspension system, ensuring proper gear mesh and torque distribution. For optimal assembly integrity, this housing works in conjunction with the 2095309059: DIFF.HOUSING to create a sealed environment for lubricant retention.

Symptoms of Failure

• Hydraulic oil seepage at axle tube seals – Cracks or porosity in the housing casting allow gear oil to escape, leaving visible drips under the machine after shutdown.
• Abnormal whining or grinding during turns – Warped mounting surfaces cause misalignment of the 2095109019: DIFFERENTIAL, generating metallic noise under load.
• Premature bearing wear on input side – Housing distortion reduces preload on the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING, leading to radial play and eventual gear tooth damage.
• Vibration through chassis at low speeds – Fatigue fractures near the spring seat area compromise structural rigidity, transferring imbalance to the driveline.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This rear axle housing is engineered for ZF WG-series powershift transmissions commonly found in wheel loaders and telehandlers. It directly fits the WG180 and WG200 transmission models, as well as select variants of the WG211 series used in 20-30 ton class machines. The housing accepts both the 2095209037: DIFFERENTIAL and the 2095309081: DIFFERENTIAL AXLE without modification. Always verify axle flange dimensions against your existing unit before installation.
