The OBX Helical Limited Slip Differential powers both drive wheels under nearly all conditions, instead of just one. With an ordinary open differential, standard on most cars, a lot of precious power is wasted during wheelspin under acceleration. This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip (along the path of least resistance). The OBX Helical Limited Slip Differential, however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has the better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel. Power to the ground! The helical limited slip differential is a torque sensing LSD that features smoothing operation and superior responsiveness. The unit does not require special oil like the clutch type limited slip differentials.
