Which axle housing type is fabricated from pressed steel halves?

  • A.The split housing, which is divided along its centre line and bolted together around the differential assembly
  • B.The Salisbury type
  • C.The de Dion type, in which the differential is mounted upon the body and only a tube connects the two wheels
  • D.The banjo type

Answer: D

A banjo housing is pressed from steel and welded, with a large aperture at the centre into which a separate differential carrier is bolted. The carrier can be removed without disturbing the axle. Salisbury housings integrate the carrier into the casting. Most errors here come from carrying across a result from a neighbouring case where it does not hold. Checking which component actually carries the load settles most questions of this kind at once.
