Differential Assembly: Service Precautions

Precautions for Torsen Type Limited-slip Differential (LSD)

- The Torsen differentials are mechanical limited-slip differential which delivers the available power to the wheels and the driveshafts with the most grip or resistance as the engine torque output increases.

- Do not do repair procedures that require the engine running with one rear wheel raised; such as an on-car wheel balancer.

- Do not tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground.

- Never dismantle any part of the differential other than the right and left tapered roller bearings.

- To optimize the Torsen differential, equip your vehicle with rear tires of the same brand, the same size, and with even wear.
