If wheel bearings are installed without using a calibrated torque wrench to apply the hub axle nut to the exact required torque specification, the bearings are more or less instantly destroyed once you start driving on them.

This higher factor under overrun was chosen, first, because the engine's drag force is lower than its maximum torque and, second, because this configuration serves to stabilise the car, preventing it from swerving or turning under load change in bends, as now brake force is applied more evenly on both wheels when the driver suddenly takes back the gas pedal.

Both the 3.6 - liter V - 6 and 5.7 - liter HEMI V - 8 engines are available with a rear anti-spin differential, which turns both rear wheels in tandem when increased torque is applied — helpful in off - road driving conditions.

This produces an asymmetrical drive torque distribution that matches the dynamic wheel load distribution... This lets the driver apply much greater force to the accelerator pedal at the apex of a bend, which in turn results in significantly higher exit speeds of the Golf GTI Performance out of bends.

If necessary, the engine torque is reduced and a short burst of full braking is applied to the appropriate wheel to immediately limit lateral force, providing improved roll stability

The torque vectoring system applies brakes to individual wheels when it senses a loss in traction and it simply works flawlessly to reduce understeer.
