Differential Spider Gears
Differential spider gears are the small bevel gears inside the carrier that allow the two drive wheels to rotate at different speeds through turns.

Stronger forged steel spider gears are popular on high-horsepower drag builds and loaded tow rigs where OEM cast gears fail under sustained torque. Some upgrade kits include new cross shafts, thrust washers, and spider gear pins for a complete open carrier refresh.How do I know if my spider gears are worn?Common signs include a clunk during low-speed turns, uneven tire wear on one drive wheel, and metal debris visible in the gear oil dur...
