The rear axle of the Ford Mustang (VI Gen) is equipped with a limited-slip differential that provides additional traction on slippery surfaces. This section explains the operating principle and describes typical operating noises during tight turns. This technology provides decisive benefits for driving stability, especially when road conditions change. A key feature for sporty drivers, and a safeguard for safety in all weather.

Limited-Slip Differential

This axle provides traction on slippery surfaces, especially when only one wheel is on low-traction ground. Under normal conditions, the limited-slip rear axle works like a conventional rear axle. When driving through tight turns at low speed, the axle may vibrate slightly or make light noises.

This is a normal phenomenon and indicates that the axle is functioning.

The rear axle with limited-slip differential in the Ford Mustang (VI Gen, 2014–2023) provides optimal traction on slippery surfaces. Especially in difficult road conditions, the Ford Mustang 2014–2023 shows its strengths in stability and driving control.

Slight vibrations or noises when driving through tight turns at low speed are a normal sign that the limited-slip differential is working. The Ford Mustang VI Gen combines sporty performance with technical precision.

This equipment makes the Ford Mustang (VI Gen, 2014–2023) the ideal vehicle for drivers who demand dynamics and safety at the highest level.
