Frequently Asked Questions About Differential Service & Repair
What are the signs of differential problems?
Common signs include whining or howling noises that change with speed, clunking sounds when accelerating or decelerating, vibration felt through the vehicle, grinding noises when turning, and fluid leaks under the rear or front of the vehicle. If you notice any of these symptoms, have your differential inspected promptly to prevent more serious damage.
How often should differential fluid be changed?
Most manufacturers recommend changing differential fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles, though this varies by vehicle. Heavy-duty use like towing, off-roading, or frequent mountain driving requires more frequent service. Check your owner's manual for specific recommendations, or we can advise based on your driving conditions.
What causes differential whining noise?
Differential whining is typically caused by worn ring and pinion gears, worn bearings, or low/contaminated fluid. The pitch and when the noise occurs (acceleration, deceleration, or steady speed) helps identify the cause. Early diagnosis can often prevent the need for complete differential replacement.
What's the difference between open and limited-slip differentials?
An open differential allows wheels to rotate at different speeds but sends power to the wheel with least resistance. A limited-slip differential (LSD) limits this difference, providing better traction by keeping power going to both wheels. LSDs require special fluid and more frequent service.
Can you repair my AWD or 4WD differential?
Yes, we service front differentials, rear differentials, and center differentials in all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles. Our experienced technicians work on all makes and models, from basic maintenance to complete rebuilds. We ensure all differentials in your system work together properly.
