Performance Differentials
Our Services
- Limited Slip Differential (LSD): The most popular for those looking for a performance upgrade on their modern sedan or sports car. This type of differential typically comes stock with newer cars, but an upgrade will improve wheel spin, and improve torque which generates more traction.
- Types of Limited Slip Differential: including Mechanical clutch LSD (Limited Slip Differential), One-way LSD, Two- way LSD and One and a Half way LSD.
- Locked Differential: For 4-wheel drive enthusiasts, locking differentials are extremely popular and necessary for any serious off-roading. This type of differential allows you to create a fixed axle, giving you the freedom to channel torque to a certain side (or even wheel) to create more traction. This makes it easier to get out of sticky situations while off road
- Active Differential: Like a limited slip differential, an active differential still uses some mechanisms to operate effectively but relies more on its electrical components, rather than pure mechanical force. This style of differential will be found in newer models and can be upgraded or repaired by our team here at GMW.
- Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD): Taking the electronic differential system a step further, this type of diff can manipulate the handling of your vehicle in and out of turns by adjusting specific wheels and regulating torque transfer at that specific moment.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are a few signs you can look out for differential damage which include:
- Tire Damage
- Vibrations coming from your drive shaft
- Loud, whining noises
- Difficult handling – If you notice your car not turning or driving normally
- Grinding Gears
The biggest advantage of a limited slip differential is that your car will handle better during street use, especially in more extreme conditions such as rain, hail or on unpaved roads. This is because the LSP prevents excessive power from being given to one wheel, instead keeping the amount of torque even between both wheels. This ensures that you have an even amount of traction across all wheels.
