1979-1993 Foxbody Mustang Limited Slip Differentials

Maximize traction with sophisticated 1979-1993 Foxbody Mustang Limited Slip Differentials that ensure power reaches both rear wheels effectively under all conditions. These advanced drivetrain components replace the factory open differential with precision-engineered units that use either clutch packs or helical gears to transfer power to the wheel with greater traction when one begins to slip. The enhanced power distribution capability translates directly to improved launch consistency, better cornering exit speeds, and more predictable handling during aggressive driving by preventing inside wheel spin that wastes power and potentially creates unstable handling characteristics.

Design philosophy variations create distinctive performance characteristics that suit different driving styles and applications. Torsen-style units utilize helical gears that respond instantly to traction differences without wear components, providing maintenance-free operation ideal for street/strip applications. Clutch-type differentials offer adjustable bias ratios through different friction materials and spring pressures that can be tailored to specific driving styles. Installation considerations include proper break-in procedures and fluid specifications that vary between different differential designs, with specialized additives often required for clutch-type units to prevent chatter and ensure smooth operation during low-speed turning maneuvers that can otherwise create drivability issues despite the performance benefits these units provide during more aggressive driving.
