Regular Service and Inspections Prevent Problems Down the Road

While it’s often overlooked, especially when compared to engine oil or even transmission fluid, regular differential fluid changes are critical to keeping the components inside the diff properly lubricated. Like the engine and transmission, the components in the differential spin, creating friction and heat.
Modern axles are normally replaced or rebuilt when they fail, but having them inspected regularly during routine service will let you stay on top of their condition. Tears in the rubber boot on each end of the axle allow contaminants to get in, leading to eventual failure.

Signs of Differential and Axle Issues

Some common signs of axle and differential trouble include:

  • Clicking or popping sound when turning
  • Leaking axle grease (noticeable on the inside of the wheel)
  • Vibration while driving
  • Humming or whirring sound
  • If you notice any symptoms of axle or differential problems, call or schedule an appointment at Same Day Auto Service now!
