WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The differential (4026) uses an open-type design that provides operation in the following ways:

Both drive axles rotate with transmitted torque at the same speed when the vehicle is moving forward.
Each drive axle rotates with the transmitted torque at a different speed when the vehicle is cornering.
If one drive axle is stationary, the other axle rotates with transmitted torque.
