Central Differential Assembly ?

Why Is This Part Important?

The central differential is a key part in vehicles with all-wheel drive systems. It splits engine torque between the front and rear axles, allowing wheels to turn at different speeds. This helps maintain grip and stability on slippery or uneven roads, especially during fast turns or off-road driving.

How Does It Work?

The assembly uses a set of gears and clutches to balance power between axles. When the car travels in a straight line, it sends equal force to both axles. When turning, it automatically adjusts and lets wheels rotate at different speeds, preventing wheel hop and reducing wear.

What Happens If It's Broken?

If this part fails, you may notice poor handling, noises from under the car, or uneven tire wear. All-wheel drive may stop working correctly, causing unsafe driving in bad conditions. Ignoring it can lead to costly transmission damage.
