Thanks again...was doing some reading and there seems to be different variants - Type A, type B, Type AB, Positronic/Torque Vector
What would be the standard used in todays 4x4s?
Lemme put it into perspectiveGladiator wrote:Thanks for the information... I am looking at getting a 4x4 and one of the specs is a clutch type LSD. Trying to determine what kind of wear the clutches will see on normal highway and road use since it will be driven like that 99% of the time. This is to gauge the maintenance required.
Some articles say the clutches only wear on off road conditions when one tire is spinning and needs to lock up, however during cornering the LSD behaves as an open diff. While I know you can get slippages on the highway or when accelerating, is it enough to wear the clutches in the LSD significantly?
