    Q:
    How are the axle shafts connected to the differential in the rear axle assembly for the 1997 Chevrolet S10? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The axle shafts are splined to the differential side gears, causing the inner tire to turn more slowly than the outer tire during cornering. The differential pinion gears roll around the slower side gear, driving the outer side gear and tire more quickly.

    Q:
    What is the purpose of the optional locking limited-slip rear axle, and how does it work for the 1998 GMC Sonoma? Posted by Customer
    A:
    The optional locking limited-slip rear axle allows for normal operation until one wheel loses traction. This differential includes a pair of clutch "cones" that slow the rotation of the differential case when one wheel is on a firm surface and the other on a slippery one, equalizing the rotation speed of the axleshaft driving the wheel with traction.
