A high-quality friction plate for the Limited Slip Differential (LSD). It is a key component of the differential's clutch pack, responsible for locking and equalizing the rotational speed of the wheels in case of traction loss. Made of sintered bronze, it guarantees an optimal friction coefficient and high wear resistance, which is essential for the proper functioning of the drive in difficult terrain.

Working on the drive axle requires lifting and securing the machine. Always use certified axle stands with an appropriate load capacity. Never rely solely on the machine's hydraulics or a jack.
The friction plates in a limited-slip differential (LSD) are responsible for transferring torque to the wheel with more grip. When they wear out, the differential acts like an open diff, leading to a loss of traction in difficult terrain.
A faulty limited-slip diff means an immobilized machine at the worst moment.
Don't let one spinning wheel stop your entire job. The cost of replacing friction plates is minimal compared to the losses caused by downtime or the need for a recovery. Invest in traction – order a new set of FEROSTEM plates and regain your drive's full capability.

An LSD is a type of differential that, in the event of one wheel losing traction, automatically transfers a portion of the torque to the other wheel. This is achieved through a clutch pack of friction and separator plates that clamp together under load, limiting the difference in rotational speed between the wheels.
2. Do I need to use special oil for an axle with an LSD?Yes, this is absolutely crucial. You must use a gear oil with an "LS" (Limited Slip) additive. Standard gear oil will cause the plates to "stick-slip," which manifests as loud popping and jerking from the axle when turning.
3. How can I check if the limited-slip in my axle is working?The simplest test is to lift the entire drive axle and try to turn one wheel by hand. If the other wheel turns in the same direction (or offers very high resistance), the LSD is working. If it spins freely in the opposite direction, the plates are worn out.
