@how.it.works.hq: A differential lets your wheels spin at different speeds while still getting power from the engine. When you turn, the outer wheel travels further than the inner one, so it needs to rotate faster. Without this system, the wheels would fight each other, causing skidding and stress on the axle. Inside, a pinion gear drives a ring gear, which contains smaller “spider” gears. When driving straight, they move together. But in a turn, they adjust, letting each wheel spin at the right speed. Simple design, smooth handling, and less strain on your car every time you corner. ##cars##engineering##mechanics##howitworks##foryou
