1. A vehicle differential comprising:
a differential housing having two pressed sheet metal halves joined together, and

wherein the depressions are gutter-shaped and closed at their outer ends with wall portions extending over the end surfaces
of the end journals, thereby limiting the axial movement of the end journals.
