Differential Repair

Differential Repair Service in Warrior, AL

The differential in your vehicle is responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels. It also compensates for and adjusts to the differences in wheel speed as your vehicle moves through turns. When your vehicle navigates a turn, the inside wheel turns slower than the outside wheel, which has to turn faster in order to keep pace with the inside wheel. The differential allows the wheels to turn at different speeds while maintaining control. A vehicle without a differential would hop and bump along the pavement for an unstable, shaky ride. Four wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a differential in front and back, while rear wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a differential in back. A front wheel drive’s differential, called the transaxle because of the functional combination of the front axle and transmission, is located between the front wheels. All-wheel drive vehicles are equipped with a differential between both the front and rear wheels with a transfer case between them. The case adjusts for speed differences between the front and rear wheels. In all vehicle applications, the differential is primarily responsible for routing and regulating power between wheels.

Signs your vehicle may need differential service or repair :

  • You notice strange damages on the sidewall and outer tread of your vehicle's tires
  • Handling around corners becomes difficult
  • There are usual vibrations while driving your vehicle, especially while accelerating quickly
  • Your vehicle is emitting a whining noise
  • You notice a reddish fluid leaking from the under your vehicle
  • Why Differential Repair Service Is Important:

    Whether your car or truck has four-wheel drive, front wheel drive, or rear wheel drive, your vehicle has a differential that experiences heavy wear and tear. Tougher terrain—like dirt roads, unpaved or gravel roads—and extreme driving can have a heavier impact on the life of your vehicle’s differential. As part of your normal car maintenance schedule, a differential fluid change can positively impact the safety and health of your vehicle. Friction and heat will progressively break down differential fluid. Worn-out differential fluid can lead to unreliable differential performance, noise, excessive wear, breakdown, or failure. Complete differential failure will result in your entire differential system needing to be replaced.
