Sinotruck Howo AC16 Axle Parts Howo Half Shaft Gear AZ9981320166 HOWO AC16 Half Shaft Gear

The AZ9981320166 is a genuine axle shaft gear, also known in the field as the "mushroom gear" due to its distinctive shape, used within the differential carrier assembly of SINOTRUK AC16 and HC16 series heavy-duty drive axles.

This precision-machined gear plays a critical role in the final stage of torque transmission, connecting the planetary gears (pinions) inside the differential to the drive axle shafts (half-shafts). It transfers engine power from the central differential unit to each side of the vehicle, enabling controlled rotation and traction delivery to the wheels.

Due to its position at the heart of the driveline — subjected to high impact loads, continuous torsional stress, and extreme operating conditions — this component must combine exceptional strength, wear resistance, and dimensional accuracy.

Manufactured from high-grade alloy steel using advanced heat treatment and grinding processes, it ensures smooth meshing, low noise, and long service life even under severe mining, construction, and overland transport duties.

Installation Instructions

✅ Pre-Installation Checks

  1. Confirm correct model: Use SINOTRUK EPC system to verify compatibility with your VIN/chassis.

  2. Inspect new gear: Check for cracks, chipped teeth, distorted splines, or surface pitting.

  3. Clean all components: Remove old grease, debris, and carbon buildup from housing and mating parts.

  4. Prepare tools: Dial gauge, micrometer, torque wrench, gear press, magnetic particle inspection (if available).

✅ Step-by-Step Installation

  1. Disassemble Differential Carrier:

    • Drain gear oil and remove cover.

    • Mark housing halves for orientation.

  2. Remove Old Axle Gear (AZ9981320166):

    • Extract carefully without damaging bearing seats or ring gear.

  3. Install New Gear:

    • Press into place gently using proper tooling.

    • Ensure full seating and alignment.

  4. Reinstall Planetary Pinions:

    • Mount four pinion gears onto cross shaft.

    • Add new thrust washers/shims to control end-play.

  5. Adjust Gear Backlash:

    • Measure contact pattern and backlash.

    • Target clearance: 0.1 mm – 0.2 mm (per service manual).

  6. Reassemble Housing:

    • Apply liquid gasket or replace paper seal.

    • Torque bolts evenly in crisscross pattern.

  7. Refill with Gear Oil:

    • Use GL-5 85W/90 or higher-grade synthetic gear oil.
