LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
This axle provides added traction on
slippery surfaces, particularly when one
wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under
normal conditions, the limited-slip axle
functions like a standard rear axle. The axle
may exhibit a slight noise or vibration
during tight turns with low vehicle speed.
This is normal behavior and indicates the
axle is working
Traction-Lok
™ and TORSEN™
Axles (if equipped) (If Equipped)
These axles provide improved traction on
slippery and loose surfaces, particularly
when one wheel is on a poor traction
surface. Under normal conditions, these
axles function like a standard rear axle.
Extended use of tire sizes other than the
manufacturer ’s specified tire size on these
axles could result in a permanent reduction
in effectiveness. This loss does not affect
your normal driving and should not be
noticeable.
