Differential Repair Denver

How to Care for Your Differential

Differential oil—it’s one of the most-overlooked automobile maintenance tasks. Because the differential is at the rear and under the car, it gets none of the treatment that the engine does. If lubrication in the differential fails, you won’t be getting very far for very long and will likely be looking at a differential repair. Fortunately, you only need to change this oil every 30,000 to 50,000 miles (as always, check your owner’s manual).

Recently took my vehicle in after transmission gave out. It was a pleasure to get such friendly service. I had the feeling right away that I had made the right choice by going there. They repaired the transmission sooner than I was expecting and at a price less than I was expecting to pay. Definitely recommend a well satisfied customer.

Warning Signs of a Failed Differential

Modern cars are now made with computerized differentials. Of course, nothing is full proof. As sophisticated as these modern differentials can be, errors can make operation considerably less smooth. In today’s automobile, a check engine light is often one of the first telltale signs that your car is having trouble.

You might also notice some strange sounds or vibrations when something goes awry with your vehicle’s differential. In other situations, your differential might vibrate gears in unpredictable ways, resulting in uneven speeds and inconsistencies while driving.

A bad differential can sound in different ways. You may experience a whine to a rumble, or loud clanks when going from sitting still to moving. Another sure sign it’s differential is if the symptoms get worse when coasting compared with when accelerating. The noise generally comes from the rear, but it can be hard to locate for sure depending on the volume level.

While some of these problems might seem negligible in the moment, ignoring such issues could make the situation worse, decreasing the life of your differential over time and increasing the costs of differential repair.

The major internal components of a differential includes a case, ring & pinion gear, spider gears, side gears a carrier and axles. Bearings and caps tightly hold the gears & carrier in place in the differential case. The side gears and spider gears are positioned inside the differential carrier and are attached to the axles. The ring gear is attached to the outside of the carrier and the pinion gear is positioned in the differential housing and is supported by bearings. The ring gear has teeth and the pinion gear has teeth also. The gears are precisely machined to allow the gears to mate each other smoothly. The ring and pinion gears along with the carrier inside your differential case are what allow your auto to have two rear wheels. Just like in manual transmissions, ring and pinion gears tooth counts determine gear ratio. Your differential is a major component of your auto drivetrain.
