  "textContent": "An axle system (12) includes an axle lubrication level (A1) within an axle housing (16) which is lower than a wheel end lubrication level (W1) within the wheel end assemblies (14A,14B). An opening (48) through the wheel end assembly housing (46A) provides a fluid communication path between the wheel end assembly (14A) and the axle housing (16). A differential assembly rotates adjacent an opening (48) such that lubrication at the wheel end lubrication level (W1) is rotated into the opening (48). The lubricant within the wheel end assemblies (14A,14B) is maintained at the wheel end lubrication level (W1). The shaft (34) enters the wheel end assembly housing (46A) through a shaft opening (49A) which provides a communication path for the lubricant from the wheel end assembly (14A) back into the axle housing (16).",
