Rear Differential Service

Overview of Rear Differential Service

Although a standard rear differential service includes an inspection and gear oil change, we offer bearing repair and replacement services when damage is found. Here is an overview of our rear differential services that our customers might need:

1. Inspection: Rear differential service begins with a check that verifies the component’s condition first and then determines what services need to be completed based on the vehicle’s miles and inspection results.
2. Gear Oil Change: If you brought your vehicle in for routine maintenance, you can expect the rear differential gear oil to be changed. This is standard protocol every 30,000 miles.
3. Bearing Repair: If the inspection was prompted by unexplainable noises or performance trouble, we often find excessive shavings in the gear oil, signaling bearing damage that needs repair.
4. Replacement: If we find that the rear differential is damaged beyond repair, we can provide replacement service to restore factory specifications.
