Unlike conventional helical LSDs, Wavetrac's patented design keeps driving the wheel with grip even when the other wheel is unloaded or in the air - where other helical diffs behave like an open diff. There are no clutch packs to wear, adjust or rebuild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Also fits the Ford Focus SVT with the Getrag 6-speed.
