Spin-out Combinations

Spin-out is a term used to describe excessive differential action. Wheel differential spinout occurs when one wheel remains sta-
tionary while the other spins. Inter-axle spinout occurs when either one wheel or one axle spins while the opposing wheel remains
stationary.

These figures illustrate some of the spin-out combinations that can cause spinout failure.
