What is a Trailblazer SS front differential?

I am a new owner of a Chevrolet Trailblazer SS. I saw the front differential referenced in the owner’s manual. Not sure what that means. What is a Trailblazer SS front differential?

Congrats on the new Chevy! A
Trailblazer SS
front differential divides power and torque to your front wheels.
Without a front differential, your front wheels would not be able to turn at independent speeds, which is crucial for front-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicles. A front differential helps you keep control when turning, as the inside tire needs fewer revolutions (since it is covering less ground).
Basically, without a working front differential, you can’t effectively turn!
A Trailblazer SS is available in both two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, so it’s definitely important that it’s equipped with a front differential.
Just like the front differential controls your turns, your
car insurance
policy controls how much you pay after an accident. If you want to take control into your own hands, use
