2. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

   A limited-slip differential (LSD) is a type of differential gear train that allows its two output shafts to rotate at different speeds but limits the maximum difference between the two shafts. Limited-slip differentials are often known by the generic trademark Positraction , a brand name owned by General Motors and originally used for its ...

3. Friction modifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction_modifier

   Several classes of friction modifier additives exist, the main examples being organic friction modifiers (OFMs), oil-soluble organo-molybdenum additives, functionalized polymers, and dispersed nanoparticles. [1] OFMs are amphiphilic surfactants, such as fatty acids, often derived from fats and vegetable oils.

4. Viscous coupling unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_coupling_unit

   It linked the front and rear differentials for quiet and smooth transfer of power to the axle with the greatest traction, on wet or dry pavement. [4] Viscous couplings are used as the center differential in cars such as the Toyota Celica GT-Four, and also as a limited slip differential (LSD) in rear axles.

6. Torsen - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsen

   Torsen differential from an Audi quattro. Torsen Torque-Sensing (full name Torsen traction) is a type of limited-slip differential used in automobiles. It was invented by American Vernon Gleasman [1] and manufactured by the Gleason Corporation. Torsen is a portmanteau of Torque-Sensing.

7. Traction control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

   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.

8. Gear oil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_oil

   Gear oil is a lubricant made specifically for transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials in automobiles, trucks, and other machinery.It has high viscosity and usually contains organosulfur compounds.

9. Jeep four-wheel-drive systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_four-wheel-drive_systems

   It offered the following modes: 4H LK, 4H, N, and 4L. In 4H (full-time 4WD High) a center differential with a viscous limited-slip coupling is used between the front and rear output shafts. A 2.61:1 low range was engaged in 4WD Lo mode. And in both '4H LK' (4WD Hi Locked) and '4L' modes the center differential is mechanically locked.
