2. WHAT TO EXPECT Definition of a differential
Why a differential is needed
Different kinds of differentials
Elaboration on limited slip differentials
Different kinds of limited slip differentials

3. WHAT IS A DIFFERENTIAL AND WHY IS IT USED?
Shifts the power from the engine to the wheels
Acts as a final gear reduction in the system
Allows the wheels to spin at different speeds
Why it is used:
Torque must be transferred 90 degrees
Wheels spin at different speeds during a turn
Different driving surfaces provide different traction

4. DIFFERENT DIFFERENTIALS
There are 3 major types of differentials:
Open differentials
Locking differentials
Limited slip differentials

5. WHAT IS A LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL?
Balance between open differentials and locking differentials
Acts as an open differential when cornering
Acts similar to a locking differential when a wheel starts slipping
Preferred differential due to its versatility

6. DIFFERENT TYPES OF LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIALS
Spring and clutch type
Viscous coupling
Locking
TORSEN (TORque SENsing)
