OS Giken Mercedes 500E (R180 127mm Ring Gear ID) Super Lock LSD

This OS Giken Super Lock Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is specifically made for your 1992-1993 Mercedes-Benz 500E, and also fits the 1993 300TE. If you're looking to get more grip out of your rear wheels, especially during spirited driving or when accelerating out of corners, an LSD is a significant upgrade over the factory open differential. It helps put power down more evenly to both rear wheels, reducing wheelspin and improving stability.

OS Giken is well-known for its high-performance drivetrain components, and this Super Lock LSD is a prime example. It uses a unique multi-plate design that allows for a very high lockup rate, meaning both rear wheels will turn together more often. This design is also tunable, allowing for adjustments to how aggressively the differential locks up, which can be tailored to your driving style and the car's setup. The unit is built around a 127mm ring gear size, common in these specific Mercedes models, ensuring a proper fit. It's designed to handle the power and demands of performance driving, offering a solid improvement in traction and cornering performance.

Installing a limited-slip differential is a complex job that typically requires specialized tools and knowledge of drivetrain components. It's often recommended to have this done by a professional mechanic. When installed, you can expect a noticeable change in how the car accelerates and handles, particularly in situations where traction is compromised. This differential is a well-built component designed to enhance the driving experience of your classic Mercedes.
