For details on how to disable this device please see. Return to Top Q.What is a Torsen Rear End? The regular differential used in most vehicles is an OPEN differential. An OPEN differential distributes power (torque) equally to both rear wheels. Even though the power is distributed equally the wheels are allowed to spin at different speeds. A locked differential (or Spooler) is one that distributes its power (torque) unequally while the wheels rotate at the same speed. The problem is that requiring wheels to rotate at the same speed is not possible in tight turns when the inside wheels must rotate more slowly than the outside wheels. The problem with the open diffe
