A differential device with a limited-slip differential mechanism in which, while preventing full compression of spring members to avoid problems resulting from it, the spring members are configured to be as small in diameter as possible to allow the pressure-contact surfaces of a differential case to be wide for clutch plates, whereby it is possible to prevent problems such as a local increase in surface pressure between the clutch plates and scratches on the clutch plates caused by the inner peripheral edges of the pressure-contact surfaces, and achieve improvement in durability of the differential device.
