ZF 5838.117.013 REAR AXLE HOUS. | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 5838.117.013 REAR AXLE HOUS. is a structural core component designed to enclose and protect the final drive gearing within heavy-duty construction machinery transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as the rigid mounting point for the differential assembly and axle shafts, ensuring precise gear alignment under extreme torque loads. The SKU 5838.117.013 is engineered to withstand high stress from earthmoving equipment, providing a sealed environment that prevents contamination while maintaining lubricant integrity. It sits directly between the transmission output and the wheel hubs, forming the backbone of the rear axle system.

Symptoms of Failure

• Oil seepage around axle seals: Cracks or warping in the housing cause lubricant to escape, leading to low oil levels and potential gear damage. Search query: “ZF rear axle housing oil leak repair.”
• Abnormal whining or grinding noises: A distorted housing misaligns the 5838109006: DIFFERENTIAL, creating metal-on-metal contact during operation.
• Vibration during acceleration: Worn bearing seats allow the 0750117075: TAPER ROLLER BEARING to shift, causing driveline shudder under load.
• Premature tire wear: Housing flex alters wheel alignment angles, accelerating uneven tread wear on drive axles.

Technical Specifications
