Overview
The ZF 4482.360.001 DIFFERENTIAL BEVEL GEAR is a precision-machined component engineered for the final drive assembly of ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 powershift transmissions. This OEM genuine part transfers torque from the driveshaft to the differential carrier at a 90-degree angle, enabling smooth power distribution to the axle shafts. As a critical element in the gear train, the SKU 4482.360.001 works in concert with the 2093109002: DIFFERENTIAL to manage rotational forces under heavy loads. Its hardened steel construction ensures durability in construction and agricultural machinery where continuous high-torque operation is standard.
Symptoms of Failure
When the ZF 4482.360.001 differential bevel gear begins to wear, operators typically notice these specific failure indicators:
- Whining or howling noise from the differential housing – A high-pitched sound during acceleration or deceleration often indicates gear tooth surface degradation. This is a common long-tail search query for “ZF transmission whining noise fix.”
- Vibration through the chassis at highway speeds – Worn bevel gear teeth create uneven contact patterns, causing driveline shudder that intensifies with load. This symptom frequently leads to searches for “differential gear vibration causes.”
- Metallic debris in the transmission oil – Flakes or small chips in the lubricant signal advanced spalling on the gear flanks. Operators searching “metal shavings in ZF transmission oil” often find this part as the root cause.
- Intermittent gear slipping under load – When the bevel gear loses tooth profile integrity, the differential can momentarily lose torque transfer, especially during turning maneuvers.

Compatibility
This differential bevel gear is specifically designed for ZF WG100, WG130, and WG131 transmissions. It also fits select variants of the WG180 and WG200 series when used with the corresponding 2093309071: DIFF.HOUSING. For proper installation, always pair this gear with the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING to support axial loads, and verify alignment using the 2093209095: DIFFERENTIAL assembly. The gear is not backward-compatible with older ZF 4WG series without housing modification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I install the 4482.360.001 bevel gear without replacing the taper roller bearing?
A: It is strongly recommended to replace the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING simultaneously, as worn bearings accelerate uneven gear wear and cause premature failure of the new bevel gear.
Q: What is the expected service life of this differential bevel gear in a WG130 transmission?
A: Under normal operating conditions with proper lubrication, the ZF 4482.360.001 typically lasts 8,000–12,000 hours. Harsh environments with heavy shock loads may reduce this interval.
Q: Does this part require special shimming during installation?
A: Yes. Correct backlash and tooth contact pattern must be set using the 2093309049: SLEEVE and 0730300820: THRUST WASHER to achieve the factory-specified 0.15–0.25 mm backlash.
