AI caption · Photo 22 of 33

This document is an exploded parts diagram of a Ford (FoMoCo) rear axle assembly, showing the axle housing, axle shafts, and differential components separated for identification. Labeled callouts identify the axle retainer plate, axle retainer plate gasket, axle bearing, axle seal, and housing vent along the axle shaft and housing at the top. The differential section shows the ring gear and carrier with the long pinion shaft, pinion gears and pinion gear washers, right and left side gears with side gear washers, and carrier bearings on both sides of the case. The lower portion details the pinion drive assembly: pinion shims, pinion retainer O-ring, pilot bearing, pinion gear, inner and outer pinion bearings, pinion retainer, oil slinger, seal, and flange. A reader can learn the assembly order and relative placement of every major component in this style of removable-carrier rear axle, which is useful for disassembly, inspection, seal/bearing replacement, or full rebuild. The diagram bears a 'Copyright FoMoCo' notice but includes no part numbers, torque specifications, or model/year applicability text. It was uploaded to a 1984 Ford Bronco gallery alongside related differential diagrams.
