Precautions for Torsen Type Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
^ The Torsen differentials are mechanical limited slip differentials, which deliver the available power to the wheels and axles with the most grip or resistance as the engine torque output increases.
^ Avoid repair procedures that require the engine running with one rear wheel raised; such as an on car-wheel balancer.
^ Do not tow the vehicle with the rear wheels on the ground.
^ Never dismantle any part of the differential other than right and left tapered roller bearings.
^ To optimize the Torsen differentials, equip your vehicle with rear tires of the same brand, the same size, and with even wear.

- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
