[QUOTE="si|verfish, post: 982224, member: 2758"] From Autozine: http://www.autozine.org/technical_school/traction/tech_traction_4wd.htm#LSD -------------- LSD - the core of 4WD technology However, just the 3-differential layout alone cannot cope with the basic requirement for 4WD - provides superior grip in the worst roads. In real world driving, for instance, when pushing the car over its limit in corner, or running on slippery surface, tyre slip is inevitable. When a wheel loses traction, a normal differential will transfer nearly all the driving torque to that wheel. As a result, the spinning wheel will spin even wilder, but the wheel that having traction will never share driving torque, therefore the car will be difficult to get out of the trouble. This problem occurs in all kinds of car, no matter 2-wheel drive or 4WD, but it is relatively more important to 4WD because 4WD cars are designed to run in worse roads or cornering harder. Therefore 4WD cars (or even many latest 2WD sports cars) need Limited Slip Differential (LSD). A LSD lock up both drive shafts whenever tyre slip occurs, thus helps the car get out of trouble quickly. The result is enhanced stability and even higher cornering limit. In fact, LSD is the core of 4WD technology. There are several types of LSD: Torsen LSD, Viscious Coupling LSD, VC differential lock and Active LSD. They have different effectiveness, characteristic and cost so that car makers choose them according to their needs. Now we are ready to look deeper inside these 4 types of LSD. [/QUOTE]
