Most folks never consider rear differential service until one of two things occurs; A leak or a noise. Both problems are actually symptoms and many times both could be prevented.

Parkland Transmission & Automotive can service the rear differential in your vehicle, checking seals, the vent and replacing the lubricant. We have found rear differential fluid, like all lubricants, breaks down over time. As lubricants lose their ability to protect, damage occurs. We use Mobil One fully synthetic lubricants to protect your investment.

Much damage also occurs because of damaged and missing vent hoses. All differentials build pressure when operated. This pressure is vented to prevent damage to seals. The vent is normally connected to a rubber hose, preventing water from entering the differential when driving in the rain. Over time these hoses crack and often come off. This allows water to emulsify the lubricant and quickly destroys the differential.

Even when a problem occurs, such as a whining noise on acceleration, quick action can drastically contain cost. We can often replace bearings and seals, restoring the differential to original condition. Left un-repaired, the bad bearing quickly degrades to a ring and pinion replacement, which is far more expensive

Whether a fluid change, leak or total rebuild, let the specialist at Parkland Transmission & Automotive prevent rear differential problems. Parkland Transmission & Automotive , it’s the place to go!
