Differential Repair and Rebuild

Truck and Car Differential Repair and Rebuild

All vehicles have differentials of some kind. Some vehicles the differential is in the front while others are in the back

. 

What is a Differential?

A differential is being put to work every time you round a corner in a wheeled vehicle. The wheels on the outside of the turn drive farther and rotate faster than the wheels on the inside when turning a corner. What allows the wheels to be able to turn at different speeds while torque is still being supplied to the wheels is the differential. Without a differential this difference would force the inside of the wheel to either slip as it rotates too fast or skidding from the outside wheels as it rotates too slow. The differential consists of a series of internal gears that have internal splines that the respective axle mates into. In combination with other internal components these gears allow a differential in rotational directions and speed directions between the axle shafts. 

This may sound complicated, but the differential is an important component of what allows your vehicle to drive around a curve or corner without the tires sliding and skipping along the road. 

Differential Repair and Rebuild

Repairing a damaged differential is a great cost-effective solution. Differential repairs and differential rebuild are different in what components are being replaced. Only broken or worn-out components are replaced in a differential repair. A differential rebuilt would instead have all its components replaced or evaluated.
