A 1.5-way differential refers to one where the forward and reverse limiting torques, Trq d_fwd, d_rev , are different but neither is zero as in the case of the 1-way LSD. This type of differential is common in racing cars where a strong limiting torque can aid stability under engine braking.
The essential problem is keeping the differential from rotating during acceleration and braking. The torque tube solves that problem by coupling the differential housing to the transmission housing and, therefore, propels the car forward by pushing up on the engine/transmission and then through the engine mounts to the car frame, with the ...

Distinguishing it from the GM 14-bolt 9.5-inch ring gear rear differential is the latter's utilization of C-clips to retain axles, differing from the free-floating axle mechanism of its heavy-duty counterpart.
Haldex Traction is a manufacturer of intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) systems, founded in Sweden.Since the invention of Gen I in 1998, the company produced several generations of products licensed to and customized for some major automotive brands, that in turn have marketed Haldex Traction AWD under different names.
The predecessor of modern electronic traction control systems can be found in high-torque, high-power rear-wheel-drive cars as a limited slip differential.A limited-slip differential is a purely mechanical system that transfers a relatively small amount of power to the non-slipping wheel, while still allowing some wheel spin to occur.
Rear-wheel-drive Premium trim levels additionally feature with run-flat summer tires, a sport-tuned suspension, adaptive suspension dampers and a limited-slip rear differential. [ 57 ] In China, at the time of the model's introduction, the ATS is available in five exterior colors and two interior colors over four trim levels: Standard, Luxury ...
