In the rear differential there are a set of spider gears that connect the left and right rear wheel axles. Their function is to allow one wheel to turn further than the other, for example: while turning. It greatly reduces tire wear. When each axle turns at a different speed, the spider gears will begin to "walk", thus compensating for the difference each wheel turns.
