Backlash is the amount of movement between the differential pinion gear teeth & the differential ring gear teeth.

What are the two most common types of limited slip differentials in use?

A vehicle with ______________ will overcome the loss of traction by applying more power to the wheel that is not slipping by applying the brake on the wheel that is slipping.

The ___________________ assembly provides the final gear reduction necessary for drivetrain operation

Preventive maintenance of a final drive assembly, regardless of its design, is important, as these axles are filled with special lubricants that promote long life and maintain quiet operation of the gears.

The clutch-style limited slip differential uses a multi-plate clutch pack between each side gear and the differential case.

Select one:

Technician A says that threaded rings are used to set the carrier bearing preload in some differentials. Technician B says that shims are used to adjust carrier bearing preload in some vehicles. Who is correct?

Most vehicle manufacturers today use a gear-style limited slip differential design rather than the clutch-type design.

Select one:

How many styles of limited slip differentials are mainly in use?

Technician A says that the final drive assembly can be found in the front of the vehicle or the rear of the vehicle. Technician B says that the final drive assembly will be found only in the rear of the vehicle. Who is correct?

Select one:

On all of the final drive assemblies manufactured today, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) wheel speed sensor is incorporated in them.

Technician A says that when a vehicle is going straight, the side gears rotate two times faster than the pinion gears. Technician B says that when a vehicle is going straight, the pinion and side gears are going the same speed. Who is correct?

The outside plate of a clutch style limited slip differential is _______ to provide initial tension on the clutch pack when the two halves of the carrier are assembled.

Select one:

Final drives can be found in _______.

Select one:

In a rear-drive vehicle, the ring gear is bolted to:

Select one:

In all axle designs, threaded adjusting rings engage with threads in the housing and will push against the side bearings of the carrier.

Select one:

Technician A says that the differential assembly allows the tires to travel at different speeds when going around a corner. Technician B says that without the differential, the tires might skip and slide when the vehicle goes around a corner. Who is correct?

Select one:

The most technically accurate description of a differential is that a differential:
