Learn how a limited slip differential gear works in automotive engineering and why we need the LSD limited slip differential What if you have the limited slip differential on the front side (where you also have the stering. Does it work the same as on the back side, where the wheels are always parallel to one another? I mean in a situation where the wheels are steered. Does it also prevent sliping in that situation? I am asking this because you said that friction adhesion between the clutch disks and friction plates is broken when they are running at different speeds (00: 02: 13, so in theory there would be no adhesion left when the wheels are steered and you will end up drifting.

Ur videos wouldve been so helpful for me as a young man. I grew up house to house and joined the military at 17. When i came back as a 24 yr old, i knew nothing about vehicles and had no driver license yet. I remember that poor honda civic that learned on. Ha. Good times. Now As a 40 yr old, i know good a pretty good deal about vehiclesnow but still learning. Great videos as always.

Why wouldn't the resultant effect of the LSD also defer to an open differential effect when going over the patch of ice for one of the wheels? Shouldn't it be the same as when turning a corner since there will be a difference in resistance between left and right bevel gear from difference in traction?

60 years or so ago, the Beach Boys had a song titled 409, the displacement of the V8 in the hot version of the Chevrolet Impala. Go dig up the lyrics - they include a reference to General Motors' trademark for their limited-slip differential.

Hey there engineeribg mindset. Love your videos, especially the ones involving electricity. By any chance do you guys plan on doing a video where you make an AC motor? Because your video where you made a DC motor was awesome.

And when the clutch pack wears out, the axle gears move outward away from the spiders. Not corrected, they can move enough to start skipping. Skip hard enough and it can crack your pumpkin. BTDT.

So how does it know when to lock and not when to lock? How does it know when it is going around a turn versus going straight? How does it detect these things?

And it does a great job till the friction material is gone. I like my ARB air locker. The diff is open till the air locks it. Great for 4 wheeling.

Thanks for the video! Just wondering, would the friction pads wear off and need to be replaced? How commonplace are limited differentials now?
