General.
(1)
A limited slip differential combines standard differential components with a special multi-disc clutch
arrangement designed to provide equal power to both wheels until ground conditions cause a difference in
traction between left wheel and right wheel. Limited slip differential transfers power from wheel with least
traction to wheel with most traction.
(2)
A limited slip differential is a direct replacement for a standard differential. Limited slip differential is
available in both front and rear axle groups.
