Collection: Limited Slip Differentials

Performance That Grips

For drivers chasing maximum control and confidence, a limited-slip differential (LSD) isn't optional, it's essential. An LSD splits power between the wheels properly, and that's exactly what sharpens acceleration, stability, and cornering on the road and on the track. Wavetrac brings industry-leading technology to the table, making it the go-to choice for anyone after more traction.

Limited-Slip Differential: What Is It?

At its core, a limited-slip differential is a drivetrain built to stop wheelspin by sending power to whichever wheel has grip. An open differential loses traction the second one wheel slips, an LSD doesn't, it keeps transferring torque steadily for better stability and performance.

Whether you're searching for an auto limited slip differential, an automatic slip differential, or a limited slip axle, they're all describing the same upgrade Wavetrac builds, one that delivers smooth launches, tighter cornering, and better road confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a limited slip differential do and how does it work?

A limited-slip differential sends power to the wheel with the most grip instead of losing it to the wheel that's spinning, giving you better traction under acceleration and through corners than a standard open differential. Here's how Wavetrac actually does it:

• A helical ATB design, gear-on-gear rather than clutch packs
• Automatically biases torque toward whichever wheel has grip
• No electronics or driver input needed

Is a limited slip differential worth upgrading?

If you're chasing better traction, cornering, or consistent power delivery, especially on a car that sees spirited road driving or track use, yes. It's one of the most noticeable handling upgrades you can make.

Does a Wavetrac limited slip differential require special oil?

It needs regular gear oil changes like any differential, but unlike a clutch-type LSD, it doesn't need a friction modifier; in fact, adding one works against Wavetrac's gear-on-gear design rather than helping it.
