DIFFERENTIAL SERVICE / REPAIR/ CV AXLES

When you take a corner in your car, the outside wheels have a slightly

longer distance to go than the inside wheels. That means that the outside

wheels need to turn somewhat faster than the inside. The bit of mechanical

wizardry which makes this possible is called the differential.

The differential allows the drive wheels to rotate at different rates in

Turns without a wheel hopping. For those who have a rear-wheel drive

vehicle, the differential is on the back axle. You have noticed that bulge in the

midst of the axle when you are behind a truck -- that is the differential.

If you get a front-wheel drive vehicle, the differential function is

Handled by your transaxle. Needless to say, all-wheel drive vehicles have

differentials on both axles. They also have a center differential or a move

case between the front and rear axles to compensate for rate differences

between front and rear.

DIFFERENTIAL FLUID:

Within your differential you will find

Plenty of interlacing bearings and gears. All these gears rely on each other and

a lubricant called differential fluid to maintain the differential

transferring power easily and seamlessly. Front differential, back

differential and limited slip differential (LSD) all require gear oil to

lubricate and maintain the differential drive parts cool.

Taking care of your vehicle is crucial if you would like to prevent

Unnecessary repairs and keep it running in peak condition, and that's why Eagle

Transmission provides convenient

differential services. We want to ensure that your car is protected against

gears failing and bearings not working properly. Our highly skilled

technicians will start with a complete inspect and elimination, and will then start the process of fixing the gears that were damaged and replace fluids

that are old.

Roughly once every 25,000 miles, differential fluids will need

Your attention because it won't be effective any because of the chemical makeup of

the fluid breaking down. The reasons why differential fluid plays this important role for your transmission is prevent overheating, and to guard the

gears and bearings from failing.

DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEMS AND SYMPTOMS:

If one of the bearings in your

Differential becomes loose, or if lean differential fluid is causing

metal on metal grinding and untimely wear you will experience the following

symptoms:

• A whirring noise either while decelerating or at rates
• that exceed 15 miles
• A rumbling noise that starts when the car is traveling
• faster than 15 miles
• A persistent clunking Sound
• A high pitched howling noise during acceleration

Well on your way to having a problem with your vehicle's differential. With this
