Abstract:
A driveline component with a differential having a differential gearset mounted in a differential case. The differential gearset has first and second side gears and one or more pinion gears that are meshed with the first and second side gears. The differential gearset is configured to limit inboard thrusting of the first and second side gears so that backlash will be always be present between the pinion gears and each of first and second side gears.

Claim (Index 1):
A driveline component comprising:\n a differential case that is rotatable about a first rotary axis; a first pinion gear disposed within the differential case, the first pinion gear being coupled to the differential case for common rotation about the first rotary axis with the differential case and for rotation relative to the differential case about a first pinion axis that is transverse to the first rotary axis, the first pinion gear including a plurality of first pinion teeth; a first spacer disposed in an annular manner about the pinion axis and being coupled to the first pinion gear for rotation therewith, the first spacer including an outer cylindrical surface; a first side gear received in the differential case and rotatable about the first rotary axis relative to the differential case, the first side gear including a plurality of first side gear teeth and a first inboard surface, the first side gear teeth being meshingly engaged with the first pinion teeth, the first inboard surface being configured to contact the outer cylindrical surface of the first spacer to limit axial movement of the first side gear relative to the first pinion gear in a first direction along the first rotary axis toward the first pinion gear; and a second side gear received in the differential case and rotatable about the first rotary axis relative to the differential case and the first side gear, the second side gear including a plurality of second side gear teeth and a second inboard surface, the second side gear teeth being meshingly engaged with the first pinion teeth, the second inboard surface being configured to contact the outer cylindrical surface of the first spacer to limit axial movement of the second side gear relative to the first pinion gear in a second direction along the first rotary axis toward the first pinion gear.
