Lsd

[Tanya Shivari]

The limited-slip differential (LSD) acts just like any other differential, distributing power from the driveshaft to the drive wheels. The main difference is that LSD involves a mechanism which limits the rotation speeds between the two axle shafts it spins. In other words it ensures that power is always distributed to both drive wheels even if one has little or no traction. It is generally used on high performance cars to insure greater stability during turns and some sport utility vehicles.
