UNIVERSAL FRONT AXLE FOR RIGHT SIDE OR LEFT SIDE INSTALLATION

A modular axle assembly includes a differential casing with an input axis and a drive axis oriented at a right angle thereto, first and second casing connectors disposed on opposite sides of the differential casing and aligned on the drive axis, each connector including a shaft coupling. An axle extension selectively connectable to one of the casing connectors to extend along the drive axis toward a distal end is provided, a shaft coupling being provided at the distal end. The input axis location in relation to opposing ends of the modular axle may be selectively alterable by connecting the axle extender to the first casing connector or the second casing connector to best suit a specific vehicle installation.
