Thumbs up How a differential works.

My s2000 is dropped about 2 inches with a splitter that is just an inch or so over the pavement.

To get into my driveway(or marketplace) I have to go at an angle. Sometimes I will notice one of the rear wheels will lift off the ground and thought, is this hurting my differential in anyway that one wheel is spinning faster than the other?

Well I randomly came across this video that shows how a differential works. Just thought I'd share it with your guys.

Please fast forward to the 2 minute mark.

This video models and open differential though, we have limited slip differentials which limit difference in wheel speeds between the left and right rear wheels.
