A diff lock, or differential lock, is a mechanism in vehicles that locks the differential gears, allowing both wheels on an axle to rotate at the same speed, which is essential for improving traction in slippery or uneven terrain. It works by preventing the differential from allowing one wheel to spin faster than the other, thereby enhancing grip and stability. Diff locks are particularly useful in off-road situations or during adverse weather conditions, effectively helping the vehicle to navigate challenging surfaces. However, they should be used judiciously, as engaging a diff lock on hard, dry surfaces can lead to drivetrain stress and potential damage.
