Abstract
A differential device has: a differential case supported so as to be rotatable with respect to a differential carrier fixed to the vehicle body; a differential gear mechanism composed of a plurality of pinion gears and side gears; pinion gear shafts that support the plurality of pinion gears; a tubular slide member that supports the pinion gear shafts in the differential case; an actuator that moves the slide member in the axial direction; and a position sensor that is attached to a sensor attachment member provided to the differential carrier and that is configured to detect an operating state of the actuator.
