A differential is a vital part of a vehicle's drivetrain.
Positioned between the drive wheels, it connects to the propeller shaft via the crown wheel and pinion.
Its primary role is to divide engine torque into two outputs, enabling each drive wheel to spin at varying rates.
This capability is essential during turns, as the outer wheel must travel a greater distance than the inner wheel.
Without a differential, wheels would slip or skid on turns, leading to tire wear and erratic driving.
The differential guarantees smooth and secure turns by equalizing wheel speeds while continuing to transmit power.
