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.).
In many cases, a pinched nerve as a result of an injury will go away on its own, or will only require anti-inflammatories, hot/cold therapy and a little rest. However, a pinched nerve caused by a degenerative spine condition may require more extensive treatment. Outside of a minor injury, a degenerative spine condition is the most common cause for a pinched nerve. As we age, our spine naturally begins to deteriorate as a result of regular wear and tear and weight gain.
