Zusammenfassung:An arrangement for securely retaining a cross pin (34) within a differential assembly includes a cross pin (34) having a groove (66) positioned proximate a recess (54) formed in a differential housing (32). The recess (54) and the groove (66) define a retention passageway (72) at least partially filled with molten resin (76). Solidified resin material (76) positioned within the retention passageway (72) retains the cross pin (34) in the differential housing (32). Another embodiment cross pin retention system includes a pair of locking clips coupled to the cross pin. Each of the pinion gears (24) of the differential assembly is retained between one of the locking clips and the differential housing.
