DongFeng Cross Shaft 2510ZHS01-431 – Inter-Axle Differential Spider

The DongFeng Cross Shaft 2510ZHS01-431 is a key component used in the inter-axle differential assembly of compatible DongFeng commercial vehicles and heavy-duty trucks. It is also commonly identified as an inter-axle differential spider or cross axle.

According to Dongfeng parts documentation, part number 2510ZHS01-431 is listed as the Cross Shaft / Spider of the Inter-Axle Differential Assembly, with a quantity of one in the relevant differential assembly.

This component works together with other differential parts, including planetary gears, side gears, supporting components and the differential housing, to allow the drivetrain to distribute torque between axles while accommodating differences in rotational speed.

Product Specifications

The part number 2510ZHS01-431 appears in Dongfeng parts catalogs alongside the inter-axle differential housing, planetary gears, rear side gear and related components.

What Is a Cross Shaft in a DongFeng Differential?

A cross shaft, also known as a differential spider, is a mechanical component located inside a differential assembly. It provides the mounting structure for the differential gears and helps maintain the correct relationship between the internal gears during operation.

In the DongFeng inter-axle differential, the cross shaft is associated with the planetary gears and other internal differential components. The 2510ZHS01-431 part is specifically identified in parts documentation as the Spider – Inter-Axle Differential Assembly.

Because the cross shaft operates inside a highly loaded drivetrain assembly, its dimensional accuracy, material quality and resistance to wear are important for reliable differential operation.

Application of 2510ZHS01-431

The 2510ZHS01-431 Cross Shaft is associated with DongFeng truck axle and inter-axle differential systems.

Parts catalogs identify it within the 2502A-T1700 Middle Axle Main Retarder / Inter-Axle Differential Assembly.

Before purchasing, it is recommended to verify:

• OEM part number
• Vehicle model
• Axle and differential model
• Existing component dimensions
• VIN or chassis number when available

This is especially important because DongFeng commercial vehicles can use different axle and differential configurations.

Why Choose the Correct DongFeng Cross Shaft?

Using the correct cross shaft is important because the component works as part of a precisely matched differential assembly.

An incorrect or poor-quality component can potentially cause:

• Excessive mechanical play
• Abnormal differential noise
• Accelerated gear wear
• Improper gear engagement
• Increased vibration
• Premature failure of related differential components

For this reason, buyers should always compare the OEM number 2510ZHS01-431 with the original part or the vehicle’s parts catalog before ordering.

2510ZHS01-431 Cross Shaft and Related Parts

The cross shaft is not an isolated component and works together with several parts in the inter-axle differential assembly.

Related components listed in the DongFeng parts catalog include:

• 2510ZHS01-410 – Inter-Axle Differential Assembly
• 2510ZHS01-411 – Inter-Axle Differential Case
• 2510ZHS01-426 – Bush
• 2510ZHS01-435 – Rear Gear & Bush Assembly
• 2510ZHS01-445 – Planetary Gear
• 2510ZHS01-446 – Backing Ring / Supporting Gasket
• 2510ZHS01-437 – Rear Side Gear
• 2510ZHS01-438 – Wearing Shim

The catalog identifies 2510ZHS01-431 as a wear part within this assembly.

When Should the Cross Shaft Be Replaced?

Inspection of the cross shaft should be considered when the differential develops symptoms such as:

• Unusual noise from the axle or differential
• Excessive play in the differential mechanism
• Visible scoring or wear
• Damage to the shaft surfaces
• Abnormal wear of the planetary gears
• Excessive clearance between the shaft and associated components

If the cross shaft has significant wear, the related planetary gears, bushings, washers and differential components should also be inspected before installing a replacement part.
