AMSOIL Slip-Lock Differential
Additive
Effectively Eliminates
Gear Housing Chatter
 When
making a turn, the outer wheels of a vehicle must travel faster
than the inner wheels. It is up to the differential to act
as a balance arm, establishing constant equilibrium of torques
and forces between the left-hand and right-hand driven wheels.
In standard (or open) differentials, power is directed to
the wheel offering the least resistance. This works well when
making a turn, but in a situation where one wheel is lifted
off the ground, it causes the suspended wheel to turn while
the other remains motionless.
Limited-slip (or positraction)
and locking differentials are traction-increasing devices.
Locking differentials transfer all available torque to both
wheels. The teeth of the spider assembly engage with those
on the locker clutch, causing both axle shafts to operate
as one. Locking differentials don't allow one drive wheel
to spin while the other remains stationary. Instead, they
keep both wheels in drive mode, but unlock to permit different
wheel speeds when turning. The engaging and disengaging of
the teeth on automatic locking differentials often causes
a banging and clunking sound. Manual locking differentials
usually use an electric motor or vacuum diaphragm to engage
the locker, reducing this noise.
 Limited-slip
differentials allow different wheel speeds when turning, but
when one wheel loses traction, greater torque is transferred
to the wheel offering more resistance. Limited-slip differentials
make use of friction between clutch plates, as opposed to
the meshing teeth employed by locking differentials. Transferring
less torque per side, limited-slip differentials are generally
smoother and quieter than locking differentials, but still
sometimes "chatter" when transferring torque to
the wheel with traction.
In some differential applications,
a friction modifier additive is necessary to reduce chatter.
AMSOIL Slip-Lock Differential Additive is formulated with
advanced friction modifiers and is designed to eliminate gear-housing
chatter in cars, trucks and SUVs equipped with limited-slip,
positraction and locking differentials. It also reduces the
banging and clunking associated with automatic locking differentials.
AMSOIL Slip-Lock Differential
Additive is formulated for use with both synthetic and petroleum
gear lubricants and safely replaces manufacturer recommended
friction modifiers. Its convenient flip-top dispenser provides
quick and easy application to the gear housing. One four-ounce
bottle of Slip-Lock treats differential capacities of two
to four quarts. It is not for use in automatic transmissions
or other applications requiring ATF.
NOTE: AMSOIL
Synthetic Gear Lubes do not require the use of this additive.
However, not all differentials respond the same and if chatter
is noticed, the addition of AMSOIL Slip-Lock will eliminate
it. For chattering differentials not running AMSOIL Gear Lube,
this product is an excellent solution to the problem.
