What is the cause of the abnormal noise in the Ford Mustang's low-speed differential?
1 Answers
Ford Mustang's low-speed differential abnormal noise is caused by irregular wear on the raised balls of the differential bearing surface. Below is relevant information about the automotive differential: 1. Principle: The differential is designed to adjust the speed difference between the left and right wheels. In four-wheel drive, to power all four wheels, they must be connected. If all four wheels are mechanically linked together, the car cannot rotate at the same speed when turning. To allow the car to rotate at a nearly consistent speed during turns, a center differential is added to adjust the speed difference between the front and rear wheels. 2. Function: The automotive differential primarily eliminates mechanical interference caused by inconsistent rotation speeds of the left and right wheels during turns. Without a differential, mechanical damage would occur due to the speed mismatch. For example, ordinary human-powered tricycles do not have differential devices, so they can only use single-side drive when turning.
