| − | A limited slip differential is a means to apply power to the ground when traction is limited, by sensing which wheel has traction and applying force to it, instead of only to the wheel that is without traction like how an open differential works. | + | A limited slip differential is a means to apply power to the ground when traction is limited, by sensing which wheel has traction and applying force to it, while maintaining the wheel speeds to be different when turning instead of only to the wheel that is without traction like how an open differential works. |
