Open Differential Explained

The video tutorial explains the components and functions of a car's differential system. It begins with the housing and gears, highlighting their roles in protecting and lubricating the internal components. The tutorial then delves into the differential, describing the spider and side gears and their function in allowing wheels to rotate at different speeds. The mechanics of an open differential are detailed, showing how power is transferred from the engine to the wheels, and how the differential allows for speed variation between wheels during turns.
