The differential carrier assembly also includes a pinion having a pinion gear in meshing engagement with the ring gear and a spigot positioned on a differential axis side of the pinion gear. A pinion shaft is positioned on a side of the pinion gear opposite from the spigot.
What is a pinched nerve? A pinched nerve is the name given to the uncomfortable sensation, pain, or numbness caused when increased pressure leads to irritation or damage to a peripheral nerve (A peripheral nerve is one that is outside the brain and spinal cord.).
Support Braces. In many cases a pinched nerve can be treated with rest and ice. If the pinched nerve is in the arm (carpal tunnel syndrome or cubital tunnel syndrome) the doctor may recommend a brace for a short period of time. The brace limits the amount of movement around the nerve, which allows it to rest and recover.
