Differential Cross Pin Bolt
An automotive differential cross pin bolt is a specialized fastener that is used to secure the cross pin in the differential housing of a vehicle. The differential cross pin is a small pin that connects the spider gears inside the differential housing, which allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds when turning. The cross pin bolt is designed to securely hold the cross pin in place, preventing it from moving or coming loose during operation. The cross pin bolt is typically made of high-strength materials, such as alloy steel or heat-treated steel, to ensure that it can withstand the high stresses and pressures of operation. The bolt is threaded and is installed through the differential housing and into the cross pin, where it is tightened to a specific torque specification. Proper installation of the differential cross pin bolt is critical to ensure that the differential functions correctly and that the wheels rotate smoothly and reliably. The cross pin bolt is an essential component of any differential rebuild or repair, and should be replaced whenever the differential is serviced to ensure that it can withstand the stresses of operation. If your vehicle's differential cross pin bolt broke, a differential cross pin bolt extractor may be required
