Description And Operation: Introduction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 12 other vehicles, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S, 2015 Jaguar XKR, 2015 Jaguar XK, 2014 Jaguar XKR-S, and 2014 Jaguar XKR. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The differential converts the 'angle of drive' through 90° and distributes drive, via the rear drive halfshafts, to the rear wheels.

Two types of differential are installed on 5.0L vehicles. An open differential on naturally aspirated vehicles and an electronic differential on SC (supercharger) vehicles. Both types of differential are attached to the rear subframe at four mounting points. Each mounting point incorporates an insulator to reduce NVH (noise, vibration and harshness). The insulators in the forward mounting points are installed in the differential. The insulators in the rear mounting points are installed in the rear subframe.
