Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. Technician A is correct in stating that limited slip differential clutch packs are designed to slip slightly when the vehicle is turning to allow for the difference in wheel speed between the inside and outside wheels. Technician B is correct in stating that pressure is kept on the clutch packs by either an S-shaped spring or coil springs, which helps to engage the clutch packs when needed for traction but allows them to slip for turns.
