Product Overview
The AWD rear differential coupling controls how drive torque is sent to the rear wheels on equipped Trax/Encore vehicles. A failing coupling can contribute to AWD faults, binding or loss of rear traction, although diagnostics should rule out controls and wiring first. This is an AWD-only component; it is not for front-wheel-drive versions or a manual-transmission clutch.
Before ordering, compare this exact assembly with the part currently installed. A similar name or model year does not guarantee the same mounting, connector, dimensions or equipment options.
