Which quantity describes the effectiveness of a limited slip differential?

  • A.The preload
  • B.The percentage of the total torque delivered to the faster of the two wheels during a period of wheelspin
  • C.The torque bias ratio
  • D.The locking torque, which is the torque required in order to make the two half shafts rotate at different speeds

Answer: C

The torque bias ratio is the maximum ratio of the torque delivered to the gripping wheel against that delivered to the slipping wheel, typically between two and five to one. A higher ratio transfers more. An open differential has a ratio of one. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist. Naming what changes and what stays the same is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
