The Chevrolet Trailblazer has an application of a differential which is an essential part of the vehicle's drive train system with responsibility of distributing power from the engine to the driving wheels. This mechanism is important for enabling the wheels to rotate at different speeds, as is very necessary during turning where the inner wheel should rotate faster than the outside wheel to ensure that the car is well grounded. The various kinds of differentials that have been used in Chevrolet Trailblazer models for the years are open and limited slip differential (LSD). Open differential allows for different wheels' rotational speed and distributes the torque on both wheels evenly. On the other hand, the LSD, applied to some Chevrolet Trailblazer versions, distributes torque not equally, but distributes it to the wheel with the better purchase, which improves the car's handling on slippery surface. Just like any other differential type the Chevrolet Trailblazer has its strengths and weaknesses for the various types of d differentials. The open differential is premier on the smooth roads but it can be difficult on the muddy areas as the power will be transferred to the wheel with the least traction. In the Chevrolet Trailblazer, the LSD will be able to enhance the grip of drive by increasing power to a single wheel with more grip but it may lack when it comes to moving out on slippery roads. It is recommended that the Chevrolet Trailblazer's differential is serviced and checked on a regular basis to enhance its durability and efficiency no matter the kind of differential used to avoid typical problems like for instance the depletion of the fluid or maybe general wearing off of of its parts.
