FAQs About Drivetrain

 

When should you service?

Differential Service is recommended at 30,000 mile intervals or according to your manufacturer’s specifications. If you drive under more severe conditions such as frequent starts and stops, extreme weather, towing or off-roading, we recommend more frequent servicing.

What is typical wear and tear?

The gears within the differential are very strong and made of long lasting materials. But as vehicles age, those gears can start to wear. Differential fluid is present to lubricate and cool those gears. Dirty fluid can lead to poor performance and excess wear. You should have your differential fluid checked from time to time.

What are the symptoms of an issue with the differential?

• Vibration of front or rear of vehicle when turning
• Clunking heard when shifting gears
• Noise such as chatter or growl coming from axle
• Whine on acceleration or deceleration
