Hydraulic control unit for limited slip differential

A hydraulic control unit that delivers hydraulic fluid to a limited slip differential, the hydraulic control unit comprising:

• a hydraulic control unit housing having a manifold housing portion and an accumulator housing portion, wherein the manifold housing portion defines a fluid pathway arrangement for communicating fluid along at least a first fluid pathway, wherein the accumulator housing portion houses an accumulator assembly having a biasing assembly and a piston, the accumulator housing portion and manifold housing portion cooperating to form an accumulator chamber that houses the biasing assembly and the piston;
• a motor disposed on a first side of the manifold housing portion;
• a pump disposed on a second side of the manifold portion, opposite the first side, wherein the pump is configured to pump fluid into the accumulator chamber of the accumulator housing portion;
• a reservoir defined by at least one of the manifold housing portion and the accumulator housing portion;
• a bag filter disposed in the reservoir and configured to filter fluid flowing through the reservoir.
