The Meritor M12127645 Differential Side Gear is designed for use within the inter-axle differential of compatible heavy-duty tandem axle systems. The gear helps transmit torque through the inter-axle differential while allowing the forward and rear drive axles to rotate at different speeds when operating conditions require it.
This side gear is associated with DS404/344-type axle and inter-axle differential configurations and is cataloged as the rear IAD side gear. Because side gears operate under substantial torque and repeated load cycles, correct tooth geometry, spline engagement, and fit within the differential assembly are critical to reliable drivetrain operation.
