Pry a stupid question but what is the anti spin differintial?

 

Also known as limited slip as well as other names. In cases where one wheel is starting to spin due to slippery conditions, some torque is transferred to the wheel with traction. That way, the wheel with the traction will (you hope) propel the vehicle forward. Hope that answered your question.<br><br>Happy Holidays,<br>Casey

 

What Casey said<br><br>It is very useful, I had a Ferd 4x4 that would get stuck on wet grass, always out putting the hubs in to get going again, not with the limited slip. <br><br>I can explain it this way better maybe.<br><br>Imagine yourself going up an icy hill, without LS you would sit and spin one wheel in one place or spin around with one wheel spinning in a circle.<br><br>With LS you kinda would be going uphill sideways if that makes any sense? But you would be going up instead of spinning in one spot<br><br>Hope that helps<br><br>Hunter

 

I had an experience a few years back that illustrates how it can function. We were in a campground and woke up to light snow, about 3 inches. To get to the highway we had to tow up a 5% grade about 1/4 mile, almost straight. As we started up the grade we lost traction first on one side then then the other alternating as we hit slippery spots. Each slippery spot a wheel hit the opposite wheel maintained traction and we continued forward. It was a strange feeling as we wiggled our way up the hill. Without limited slip we would have been sitting at the start of the grade.<br><br>The tracks looked somewhat like the tracks a snake makes as it slithers along the ground.
