A method for impregnating a porous surface with a magneto-rheological substance includes the steps of providing a porous surface with a porosity sufficient to receive the magneto-rheological substance within the pores and covering a portion of one side of the porous surface with the magneto-rheological substance. The method further includes the step of providing a magnet on the opposite side of the porous surface to apply a magnetic field and draw the magneto-rheological substance into the porous surface.

A differential gear assembly including a differential housing. A pair of side gears substantially axially aligned and spaced apart from each other, wherein the side gears are adapted to be supported by the differential housing and to engage axle shafts. A pair of pinion gears substantially axially aligned and spaced apart from each other, wherein the pinion gears are adapted to engage the side gears. A ring gear is mounted externally to the differential housing and a pinion pin engages and extends diametrically across the ring gear. The ring gear includes features adapted to receive the ends of the pinion pin and to position the pinion pin relative to the ring gear such that a center of mass of the ring gear is aligned with a center of mass of the pinion pin.

A fluid contaminant collection system is provided where a filter passively interacts with the fluid to remove contaminants from the fluid. The system includes a wall defining at least a portion of a chamber or passageway. Located within the chamber or passageway is the filter. The filter includes a contaminant removal portion and is located within the chamber or housing to interact with the fluid. During interaction between the fluid and the filter, the fluid passes or washes over the filter and contaminants are removed by the contaminant removal portion from the fluid.

A differential axle assembly includes an axle housing having a pair of opposed openings. A differential gear set includes a pair of side gears. Each of the side gears are supported within one of the opposed openings. A plurality of pinion gears engage the side gears. A hypoid ring gear is rotatably supported within the axle housing and a pinion shaft is supported by the hypoid ring gear. The pinion shaft supports the pinion gears in engagement with the side gears. The hypoid ring gear includes a cylindrical inner diameter having a pair of axially spaced inwardly facing annular surfaces and the axle housing includes a pair of axially spaced outwardly facing annular surfaces. The hypoid ring gear is rotatably supported within the axle housing by a pair of roller bearings positioned between the annular surfaces.
