Dodge Nitro Differential
The Dodge nitro jeep comes with a differential which helps in the division of the powers from the engine to the wheels for rotation at different velocities, most preferably when it is taking a turn. This mechanism is used to prevent slippage and tearing of the tire and in order to effectively grip the road. Iterative models of the Dodge Nitro have incorporated both open as well as limited-slip differentials-LSD. The open differential will allow an equal distribution of torque, which can cause a problem in terms of tractions on slippery terrains, the LSD on the other hand, has better torque control where it will direct more power to the wheel with better grip but would have a problem pulling from standstill on slippery roads. It is also possible that the Dodge Nitro will use other high-tech differentials to help enhance the car's performance and stability. Every differential type has its benefits and cons, and they all affect the general manner in which the car handles. One has to understand that differential of every car, including the Dodge Nitro, requires regular maintenance check to maximize it's longevity and minimize the occurrence of a large problem.

Dodge Nitro Differential Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What is the function of the front and rear Axle Shaft, Differential, and Drive Shaft on Dodge Nitro?A:The driveshaft transmits power from the transmission or transfer case to the rear axle. On 4WD models, there is also a front driveshaft that transmits power from the transfer case to the front axle. Universal joints or constant velocity joints allow the driveshaft to operate while changing its angle and length. The U-joints installed by the factory do not require lubrication. If the front driveshaft CV-joints are worn or damaged, the entire driveshaft must be replaced. The driveshafts must be reassembled and installed in their original positions to avoid excessive vibration. The differential is located inside the axle housing and has a hypoid-gear design. A limited-slip unit is available as an option. The differential transfers torque from one wheel to the other if one loses traction. Differentials are often designated by the diameter of the ring gear. Axle bearings and CV-joints cannot be rebuilt and must be serviced as an assembly. The front drive axles on 4WD models have constant velocity joints. Some axles are equipped with an optional anti-lock brake system. The rear axleshafts are housed inside the rear axle assembly and are retained by nuts or C-locks. The part number and gear ratio can be found on a tag attached to the differential housing cover or the axleshaft tube.
