Overview
The ZF 2099.117.002 REAR AXLE HOUS. is a structural core component within heavy-duty construction machinery drivelines. It encloses and protects the differential assembly and final drive gears, ensuring precise alignment under extreme torque loads. As an OEM genuine part, SKU 2099.117.002 is engineered to maintain the exacting tolerances required for ZF transmission systems, directly supporting the 2099109002: DIFFERENTIAL and 2099364014: CROWN WHEEL within the axle assembly. This housing absorbs shock loads from uneven terrain, making its structural integrity critical for long service intervals.
Symptoms of Failure
- Oil seepage at housing seals: Cracks or porosity in the rear axle housing allow lubricant to escape, leading to low oil levels and accelerated wear on internal gears. Search for “ZF axle housing oil leak repair” to identify this issue early.
- Unusual whining or grinding from the rear axle: A deformed housing misaligns the 2099209001: DIFFERENTIAL and crown wheel, generating metallic noise during turns or under load.
- Vibration during acceleration: Worn mounting points or a bent housing cause driveline oscillation, often mistaken for tire imbalance. This symptom frequently accompanies failure of the 2098309010: DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING.
- Contaminated gear oil with metal particles: Internal fractures shed debris into the lubricant, which can clog passages and damage the 2098309031: AXLE BEVEL GEAR.

Compatibility
This rear axle housing is designed for ZF WG180 and WG200 series transmissions used in wheel loaders, graders, and telehandlers. It also fits select ZF 4WG-200 and 6WG-200 drivelines where the housing interfaces with the 2098309030: AXLE BEVEL GEAR and 2098309032: DIFFERENTIAL BEVEL GEAR. Always verify the axle ratio and housing flange pattern before installation.
