A power transmitting component that includes a housing, a case, a bearing, a bearing adjuster, and a retaining member. The housing defines a bearing bulkhead and an aperture, the aperture being disposed about a first axis. A pinion is coupled to the housing for rotation about a second axis that is not coincident with the first axis. A ring gear is coupled to the differential case and is meshed with the pinion. A bearing supports the case for rotation relative to the housing about the first axis. A bearing adjuster is disposed within the aperture and abuts the bearing. The retaining member is formed of a polymeric material and couples the bearing adjuster to the bearing bulkhead such that the bearing adjuster is non-rotatably and axially fixed to the housing and a preload is applied to the bearing in a direction along the first axis.
