Abstract
A locking differential may have a side gear, a differential planetary carrier for driving the side gear, a locking member for selectively rotationally locking the side gear to the differential planetary carrier, a piston assembly for actuating the locking member, and an elastic member. To rotationally lock the side gear to the differential planetary carrier the piston assembly is configured to actuate the locking member via the elastic member.
