Rear Differentials

Closed Up Of Car Differential. Car Maintenance Process

A differential is the mechanical device that divides the engine torque and allows each output to spin at a different speed. Vehicles may have front-wheel-drive differentials, rear-wheel-drive differentials or all-wheel-drive differentials.

Since the wheels on a vehicle sometimes spin at different speeds and move slightly different distances when turning, a device is needed to allow each to rotate at a different speed (hence the name “differential”). A differential also provides the final gear reduction that slows the rotational speed of the transmission before it reaches the wheels.
