  2. Tire maintenance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_maintenance

    This heat compromises the internal structure of the tire which can lead to a blowout. When a tire is over-inflated, it wears the tread down faster, and becomes more prone to catching nails or screws in the tire. The best way to check tire maintenance is to check the air pressure, because that will lead you to whatever problem your tire might have.

  3. Locking differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_differential

    ARB air-locking differential fitted to a Mitsubishi Delica L400 LWB Diff. A locking differential is a mechanical component, commonly used in vehicles, designed to overcome the chief limitation of a standard open differential by essentially "locking" both wheels on an axle together as if on a common shaft. This forces both wheels to turn in ...

  4. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

    A limited-slip differential has a more complex torque-split and should be considered in the case when the outputs are spinning the same speed and when spinning at different speeds. The torque difference between the two axles is called Trq d . [8] (In this work it is called Trq f for torque friction [9]).

  5. Dana 60 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dana_60

    Dana differential case #706400 [3] (3.07-3.73) shows in Dana's parts catalog to be Dana 61-specific [citation needed]. The 706040x carrier can be purchased relatively inexpensively and used to install lower gears in a Dana 61 axle, such as when replacing a broken or damaged Dana 60 with a Dana 61 while retaining the factory gear ratio.

  6. Gear oil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_oil

    Some modern automatic transaxles (integrated transmission and differential) do not use a heavy oil at all but lubricate with the lower viscosity hydraulic fluid, which is available at pressure within the automatic transmission. Gear oils account for about 20% of the lubricant market. [1]

  7. Torque vectoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_vectoring

    A torque vectoring differential requires an electronic monitoring system in addition to standard mechanical components. This electronic system tells the differential when and how to vary the torque. Due to the number of wheels that receive power, a front or rear wheel drive differential is less complex than an all-wheel drive differential.

  8. Burnout (vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnout_(vehicle)

    Burnout in the box at Tarlton International Raceway, South Africa Fire burnout, Santa Pod Raceway, UK. The origins of burnouts can be traced to drag racing, where they have a practical purpose: drag racing slicks perform better at higher temperatures, and a burnout is the quickest way to raise tire temperature immediately prior to a race.

  9. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

    The functions of this design are to change the axis of rotation by 90 degrees (from the propshaft to the half-shafts) and provide a reduction in the gear ratio. The components of the ring-and-pinion differential shown in the schematic diagram on the right are: 1. Output shafts 2. Drive gear 3. Output gears 4. Planetary gears 5. Carrier 6.
