Differentials are employed in Chevrolet Colorado as one of the factors of the drive train system necessary in providing the capacity to turn while providing grip on surfaces. These differentials help split the power produced by the engine to the wheel which have the task of moving over icy or rough terrains. The bevel gearset differentials in classical rear-wheel-drive layouts help maintain the average linear speed of the wheels during a turn or, in other words, these differentials compensate the difference of speeds of the wheels in case of turning so as not to cause such negative phenomena that affect, for example, tires or the car's power train. Although conventional units may decrease the amount of grip in poor going, modern cars may employ active differentials to enhance torque split and handling. Still, they are preferred by enthusiasts for drifting, as they enable that controlled slippage of the wheels. In the Chevrolet Colorado segment you can get a reliable series of spare parts for differentials, axes, driveshafts and others needed for the premier performance of the car.
