A vehicle axle carrier having a one piece aluminum body produced by a low pressure die casting process and which integrates each of a differential housing, axle tubes, and attachment points for each of wheels/hubs, suspension struts, control links, jounce bumpers and electrical harnessing or brake line connections. Localized areas of the body, including the axle tubes exhibit varying thicknesses in order to compensate for the mechanical properties of aluminum. The low pressure die casting process accounts for each of die pull direction, draft angles and minimal wall thicknesses, with the aluminum body produced combining the features of lighter weight and infinite recyclability.
