QMB308702 Mercedes-Benz Trucks DIFFERENTIAL EI

The differential’s main job is to allow your wheels to turn at different speeds. Seems simple, right? But think about it—when you go around a corner, the outside wheel travels a longer distance than the inside wheel. The differential splits the engine’s power between the wheels, letting that outside wheel spin a little faster. It does this using a set of gears inside the housing. It also transfers power from the driveshaft to the axles that actually spin the wheels. It's a key part of your drivetrain, which is everything that makes the wheels turn. Basically, the engine creates power, the transmission sends it to the driveshaft, and the differential takes that rotational force and gets it to the wheels, managing how much goes to each one. It’s usually located on the rear axle, although some vehicles—especially all – wheel drive and four – wheel drive—have them on both axles. Without a differential, you'd have a really tough time turning. Imagine trying to drive around a corner with both wheels locked to spin at the same speed—the tires would hop, skid, and really strain the whole system. The differential acts like a shield against that, preventing damage and making for a smooth ride. You’ll notice if it’s failing because you’ll probably hear a whining or clunking noise, especially during turns. It could also cause vibrations or make the car difficult to steer. If you’re looking to get one, Fixparts Online has a pretty good selection and usually some competitive prices. But really, keeping an eye on it and addressing problems early will save you a lot of hassle down the road. Choose quality: Differential (MPN QMB308702) is backed by a 12-month warranty!
