The differential distributes drive shaft torque equally between the drive wheels, even if they are rotating at different speeds.

The differential consists of the differential housing, large and small side gears, shaft journals and thrust washers.

Applies to AWD 

On the M66 AWD a sleeve for power transfer is located on the differential.
