Cadillac Escalade Differentials

A differential is a gear assembly that can be found in every car, truck, or SUV. It transfers torque to the drive wheels and allows them to rotate at different speeds at the same time, which is beneficial while cornering. The industry offers several designs of this part, and the simplest of them is a so-called open diff installed in most autos. Its main disadvantage is that when one wheel loses traction, the assembly sends all the power to this wheel only, making it uselessly spin while the car stands still. Fortunately, it's not about the Cadillac Escalade that comes with a heavy-duty locking differential.

When needed, the part can be locked thus enabling both left and right wheels to rotate, increasing your chance of getting out of mud, snow, sand, etc. However, to avoid damage, it's not recommended to lock it when you're driving on the pavement with good traction. The latest models of the Escalade use a mechanical limited-slip differential utilizing clutch plates located alongside the gears and making it locked in difficult situations. Once in a while, such a diff requires new clutches or other parts, and whatever kind of this assembly is installed in your SUV, our store offers an assortment of Cadillac Escalade differentials and other components you may need for servicing.
