<H1 align=center>Technology Update: Differentials Provide Customers with
Improved Traction and Handling and Reduced NVH</H1>


DETROIT, March 3 -- The <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=American%20Axle">American
Axle</A> & Manufacturing
(AAM) TracRite(R)
differentials for both front and rear axle applications have been designed to meet a
variety of customer requirements for traction control and improved ride and
handling. The AAM family of differentials range from its current
industry-standard mechanical differentials, to its newest, most sophisticated
electronic traction-enhancing architectures. When coupled with the SmartBar(TM)
roll-control module, AAM's TracRite
differentials provide maximum traction and handling performance with reduced
noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH).</P>


TracRite differentials feature PowerDense(TM)
gear sets and net-shaped forged and piloted side gears for low lash and quiet
operation. Two of AAM's newest TracRite
differentials are the <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=TracRite%20EL">TracRite
EL</A> and <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=TracRite%20GTL">TracRite
GTL</A>.</P>


AAM's advanced <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=TracRite%20EL">TracRite
EL</A> features lightning fast (50 milliseconds) engagement and disengagement
and is lightweight and compact. It offers scalable high-torque capacity, low
electrical power and actuation that can be programmable, driver selectable, or
both, and is compatible with ABS braking.</P>


The <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=TracRite%20GTL">TracRite
GTL</A> is a helical gear differential with a locking feature. The locked mode
may be engaged automatically via a programmed computer, driver selection, or
both. The GTL continuously biases torque to the higher traction wheel to prevent wheel
slip, and features a tunable torque bias ratio.</P>


"We have engineered and designed a family of differentials to meet and exceed
our customers' expectations and needs," says <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=Daniel%20V">Daniel
V</A>. Sagady, P.E., vice president, Engineering
& <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=Product%20Development">Product
Development</A>. "Our line
of AAM differentials builds important performance advantages into our customers'
vehicles. For instance, an SUV equipped with a TracRite
differential in both the front and rear axle can provide true four-wheel drive. In some four-
wheel-drive applications, the transfer case can be greatly simplified, providing
significant advantages in packaging and mass reduction, while creating full-time
all-wheel drive."</P>


AAM is a world leader in the manufacture, engineering, design and validation
of driveline systems and related components and modules, chassis systems and
forged products for trucks, sport utility vehicles and passenger cars. In
addition to its 14 locations in the <A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=United%20States">United
States</A> (in Michigan,
<A class=tspt
href="http://www.theautochannel.com/search/search.html?words=New%20York">New
York</A> and Ohio),
AAM also has offices and facilities in Brazil,
England,
Germany,
Japan,
Mexico
and Scotland.</P>
