What Is A Differential Carrier?
A differential carrier is basically housing for the spider gears and cross pin in your differential. The ring gear bolts onto one side of the housing to allow for proper rotation when power is applied. The rear axles are mounted in the axle tubes and slide into the differential carrier. It is bolted into place by the differential carrier cap bolts.
