Definitions:

Hypoid Gearsets

A type of gear configuration where the gear axes are not parallel or intersecting, commonly used in the differentials of vehicles for efficient power transfer.

Forward Differential Carrier

A component of a vehicle's differential system that holds the gears and allows for the distribution of power from the engine to the wheels, enabling them to rotate at different speeds.

Amboid Gearing

A type of gear configuration that allows for the conduction of power through non-parallel and non-intersecting shafts, typically found in certain differential designs.

Torque Proportional Differentials

Torque proportional differentials, also known as limited-slip differentials, are drivetrain components that distribute torque to the wheels, allowing them to rotate at different speeds while providing improved traction.
