question about anti-spin differential rear axle
hello,
so what does this really do? will it cause more gas consumption?
from website
This option features:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature: Mechanical limited slip differential
A mechanical limited slip differential uses a set of gears and clutches that moderates wheel spin by transmitting torque to the driving wheel with the best traction.

Re: question about anti-spin differential rear axle
No it will not create more gas consumption.
They way a regular differential works is it applies the power to the wheel that has the least resistance. Therefor a 4x4 vehicle engaged in 4x4 is really only two wheel drive if one front wheel is spinning and one back wheel is spinning. A limited slip will prevent this by applying the power equally to both wheels of the differential that is equipped with the limited slip.
Coles Notes: A limited slip/locked differential is nice to have!
