The Mazda CX-9 Differential divides engine power between the left and right drive wheels in a manner that ensures the SUV moves around corners without difficulty or insecurity. Installed on the front axle in front-wheel-drive trims, combined with rear and center gears in all-wheel versions, this small-size gear set eliminates tire scrub, lowers driveline stress, and even saves fuel by minimizing friction waste. Its hard shell and intelligent oil passages maintain wear minimization under the handsome power of the initial 3.7-liter V6 and the subsequent Skyactiv turbo four. The early TB models were given a simple open design with equal torque distribution, whereas the second generation CX-9 TC models are equipped with an improved limited-slip layout where additional power is directed to the wheel that still has contact with snow or mud. The new Differential sharpens launches, reduces understeer, and provides assurance when exiting wet bends. It is quite universal, and it can be fitted to all CX-9 builds of 2006 and later with only slight changes in ratios, which keeps its interchangeability quite high. The electronic stability and anti-lock systems operate with less strain since the assembly notices the loss of wheel grip within milliseconds and regulates torque flow, increasing general safety and providing the steering with a soothing and predictable response on rain-slick highways. Fluid changes and quick listening for strange sounds ensure that the mechanism operates without much noise beyond the 200,000-mile mark, a record that adds to its exceptionally durable reliability. That steadfastness is in line with Mazda values of engineering and helps advance the fuel-saving objective of any contemporary Mazda crossover. In the case of midsize SUVs, there is no part of the car that seems as unseen yet as much a must-have as this Differential, which is a silent hero that helps every Mazda keep its footing on the road during daily commuting and during weekend adventure trips.
