Limited Slip Differential (LSD)

Limited Slip Differential (LSD) refers to a system equipped with a mechanism that controls the differential functions of the wheels in the Rear- Differential. It allows for an enhancement in handling performance during turning.

Never run wheels with one of them lifted by the jack. It is extremely dangerous for a vehicle equipped with Limited Slip Differential.

Be sure to inject oil for exclusive use of LSD when replacing Rear Differential (for LSD) Oil.

✽ NOTICE

There could be slight noises coming from friction plates inside LSD when the LSD-equipped vehicle is turning around, but it is a normal sound in the process of LSD operation and the noises don't indicate vehicle failure.

Oil change is highly recommended in case that the sound becomes louder.
