The "Ford English Diff" or English axle ,refers to a type of rear differential that was widely used in small Ford cars produced in the UK.
It's commonly found in models like the Ford Escort (Mk1 and Mk2), Capri, Anglia, & some Cortinas.
Axle is a Banjo Style: The English diff has a removable differential carrier, which makes it easier to swap ratios without dismantling the axle housing.
Lightweight and Compact: It was designed for smaller vehicles with relatively low power outputs, making it a simple and cost-effective choice.
Aftermarket Popularity: Despite its simple design, it has a huge aftermarket presence. It's often upgraded with stronger components for Ford rallying, historic racing, and performance applications.
Limited Slip Differentials (LSDs): Many enthusiasts fit LSDs into English diffs to improve traction, particularly for motorsport use.
It contrasts with the Ford Atlas Axle, which is larger and stronger, used in heavier-duty applications like the Ford Capri 3.0 and Capri 2.8 or rally race historic Ford Escorts and others.
