The differential distributes power equally between the drive wheels, even if they are rotating at different speeds.

The differential consists of the differential housing, large and small side gears, shaft journals and thrust washers.

The differential has 6 gearwheels. The differential housing is completely sealed so that if a drive shaft is removed no dirt can penetrate and no oil can run out.
