Mazda RX-8 2004 - Differential Operation

DIFFERENTIAL
03–14–4
Differential operation
• If the rotation speed between the right and left wheels becomes different (during normal driving), the pinion
gears rotate together while revolving around the center axle of the drive shaft, thereby absorbing the difference
in rotation speed. This mechanism serves as a differential.
