A limited slip (or "posi") differential (or "diff") 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 diff works. | A limited slip (or "posi") differential (or "diff") 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 diff works. | ||

{{warning|The reason the spools and welded diff are shown here is so they can be identified if they're found inside a rearend. It should be stressed that the street is no place for a spool or welded spiders. Period. It matters very little to anyone who finds themselves upside down in a ditch that someone ''else'' claimed they drove on the street for 20 years with one of these without any problems. What '''should''' matter is that using either one on the street is a very unsafe practice that should be avoided altogether. A spool is a racing modification only. A welded diff is not safe on the street OR track. '''''Just don't do it'''''.}} | {{warning|The reason the spools and welded diff are shown here is so they can be identified if they're found inside a rearend.
