Rear Differential Service

Differential Fluid

Within the differential, there is a fluid made and designed specifically for that part and its functionality. The gears and bearings found within the differential need to be properly lubricated to be able to transfer power in a seamless fashion.

Signs your differentials are having issues:

Differential problems can stem from bearings coming loose or if the differential fluid has thinned out too much, causing the metal to grind on itself.

• High pitched sound when accelerating
• Whirring noises and rumbling once hitting 15 MPH and above
• A banging-like sound when turning corners

When to get it checked?

Differential fluid and usage are so unique to each vehicle and driver based on habits. We highly recommend getting your differential fluid inspected and changed at a regular interval. Recommendations can, as always, be found in your owner’s manual. Our team is happy to discuss any further concerns or questions about appropriate intervals as well.
