dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and test the Quaife torque biasing differential. The differential was modeled mathematically and equations were formulated. Experiments were then performed on a Formula SAE car to see how the output torque of each axle would react to modified preload torques. The results of these tests were then compared with the mathematical models. Overall, it was found that the there are two equations that govern the differential: one for traction and one for slip, and that the derived model correlates well with the experimental results.	en_US
