The basic design of the differential has remain relatively unchanged until today. The differential actually has 2 main purpose to fulfill: 1. To split Torque from the engine to the 2 driven wheels (FWD or RWD) 2. To allow speed differential between the 2 driven wheels through a corner. All other technology (LSD, BMW DPC etc) are just add on features. The function of the diff itself hasn't changed for decades.

Without diff you simply cannot steer the car as both driving wheels are still rotating at the same speed. Yes LSD as the name suggests limits the slip as to provide a straight line acceleration by ensuring both wheels are pulling at the same speed. LSD is not an essential for cornering purpose. Word of caution for those who drives a FWD and prefers on wheel balancing. Balancing one wheel by turning it at speed with the other wheel stationary places undue strain on the diff unit. You will get an accelerated gearbox wear and tear. So plase reconsider your balancing act. Find a tyre shop that keeps their off wheel .balancing machine frequently recalibrated which is almost impossible to come across in malaysia. Majority of tyreshop are profit oriented and dont want to invest in maintenance.New shop is most likely to have a factory calibrated machine. Yup.Differential is present on all cars on the road.
