Hi,
I just want to know what is the use of hte spring in the front differential?\

The spring in the diff creates a LSD (limited slip) effect for cornering. Diffs make the car turn easier by making the outer wheel (while cornering) spin faster than the opposite wheel. You can change the springs to stiff, medium and soft or just take the spring out for a full open diff effect.
