Every car is different. The differential is a component in all cars and is designed to compensate for the difference in distance the inner wheels and outer wheels travel as the car goes around a corner.

Do normal cars have differentials?
All vehicles have either a front differential or rear differential as part of the axle assembly. A front-wheel drive car will have a front differential while a rear-wheel drive car has a rear differential. ... It's job is to drive a pair of wheels on an axle but allowing them to rotate at different speeds.
What cars have a differential?
The differential is a device that splits the engine torque two ways, allowing each output to spin at a different speed. The differential is found on all modern cars and trucks, and also in many all-wheel-drive (full-time four-wheel-drive) vehicles.
Is there any car without differential?
No, the differential and the propeller shaft are mostly visible in case of rear wheel drive cars when powered by front mounted engine. However, differential is present in case of cars that have front mounted engine and have a front wheel drive system too.
What kind of differential do I have?
The easiest way to tell if you have an open differential is to jack up the car and spin one of the rear tires. If the other wheel spins in the opposite direction, you have an open differential. If it spins in the same direction, you have a limited slip differential, or LSD.
Do automatic cars have a rear differential?
No. The differential is a device that splits the engine torque two ways, allowing each output to spin the final drive to the wheels at a different speeds. It is same for manual and automatic cars.
Why do cars have a differential?
In automobiles and other wheeled vehicles, the differential allows the outer drive wheel to rotate faster than the inner drive wheel during a turn. This is necessary when the vehicle turns, making the wheel that is traveling around the outside of the turning curve roll farther and faster than the other.
Do sedans have differentials?
No. front wheel drive cars do not have a rear differential.
Does my car have front or rear differential?
Whether or not your car has one or two differentials depends on how the wheels of your vehicle are powered. ... If you have an all-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicle your car is built in a way that allows the engine to send power to all four wheels, so you will have both a front differential and rear differential.
Can you turn without a differential?
Without a differential, two wheels on an axle will want to spin at the exact same speed. During a turn, the inside wheel will “scrub” by spinning over the surface of the asphalt while making sporadic contact. In a best-case scenario, the vehicle can turn while losing minimal tire tread to scrubbing.
How much does a differential cost?
The average replacement cost for a whole rear differential is between $1000 and $4000. Luckily, you can just repair it or replace it with a used differential, which will decrease the costs a lot. Most differential repairs will cost between $200 and $400 to repair.
Where is the differential located?
Where is the differential located? Explanation: The differential used to incorporate the speed of the rear wheels and front wheels during turning. It is located between the transmission and rear axle.
Do AWD cars have differentials?
In addition to their front and rear differentials, AWD vehicles have a centre differential that distributes power to whichever axle isn't directly powered by the engine. That centre differential may also be open, limited-slip, viscous, or Torsen.
