ELI5 - what is an open differential, limited slip differential (lsd ...
Mar 22, 2023 · A welded diff forces both wheels to spin at the same rate, but does not split power evenly, power is RPM multiplied by torque, and torque is not distributed evenly in a welded diff Conversely, an open diff also does not split power evenly for exactly the opposite reason, an open diff splits torque evenly, but does not keep the rate of spin equal.

Mar 22, 2023 · A welded diff can really hurt the drivability and comfortability of the vehicle.
