What is a differential?

 A differential is necessary to drive a pair of wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. A vehicle with two drive wheels has the problem that when it turns a corner the drive wheels must rotate at different speeds to maintain traction and prevent tire degradation. In vehicles without a differential, such as go-karts, both driving wheels are forced to rotate at the same speed, usually on a common axle driven by a simple chain-drive mechanism.

What problem does a differential solve?

When turning a corner, the inner wheel travels a shorter distance than the outer wheel, so without a differential either the inner wheel rotates too quickly or the outer wheel rotates too slowly, which results in difficult and unpredictable handling, damage to tires and roads, and strain on (or possible failure of) the drivetrain. In rear-wheel drive automobiles the central drive shaft (or prop shaft) engages the differential through a hypoid gear (ring and pinion). The ring gear is mounted on the carrier of the planetary chain that forms the differential. This hypoid gear is a bevel gear that changes the direction of the drive rotation.

Open differentials and ABS units

Many newer vehicles feature traction control, which tries to mitigate the poor traction characteristics of an open differential by using the anti-lock braking system to limit or stop the slippage of the low traction wheel, increasing the torque that can be applied to the opposite wheel. While not as effective as a traction-aided differential, it is better than a simple mechanical open differential with no traction assistance.

All differentials are personally checked by us.

All differentials are personally checked by us.

Even though we have been working with our partners for years, we never send a differential from A to B without having done our checks. Our experts, some of whom for 40 years in the box, know exactly where some differentials can go wrong.

In addition, we have the expertise to revise differentials ourselves. The goal is always to make the differentials function as new again.

We always give 3 months warranty on used parts and 6-12 months on reconditioned parts.

The assurance of own transport

We transport a lot parts ourselves. This enables us to deliver quickly, at competitive prices. We also don't have to depend on the flexibility and level of the service of another transporter.

We can also take your old part back with us in this way, because there's often a deposit on it. You can see the deposit in our proposal.
