The differential in automobiles is a device that allows wheels to rotate at different rates while channeling the proper amount of force to each one. During a turn, the inner wheel spins faster than the outer one. A functional differential accounts for this difference and allows you to maintain control during a turn. But one that isn't working properly results in unpredictable handling and possibly failure of the entire drive train. And you definitely don't want that to happen!
