A disconnecting axle assembly for a vehicle can include a planetary differential and a clutch. The differential input can be meshingly engaged with an input pinion. The clutch can include first and second friction plates. The first plates can be non-rotatably but axially slidably coupled to a first differential output. The second plates can be interleaved with the first plates and non-rotatably but axially slidably coupled to a first axle half-shaft which can drive a first wheel. A second differential output can be drivingly coupled to a second axle half-shaft which can drive a second wheel. The differential can output a greater amount of torque to the first differential output than the second differential output when the vehicle is traveling in a straight line.
