No matter what you drive, a differential keeps the drive wheels rotating equally to prevent wheel hop in turns. While turning, the outside wheels cover slightly more ground and roll and slightly higher RPMs than the inside wheels. Without a differential smoothing out difference in drive-wheel RPMs, your vehicle will have drive wheels that hop to make up the difference. That hopping action could be enough to cause you to lose traction and suffer an accident. Our ASE-certified technicians at Chesrown Chevrolet in Columbus, OH, can do a full front or rear differential service on any make or model vehicle.
We remove your drive wheels and drain the old differential fluid. Then we inspect the gears and cogs inside to ensure they are not overly worn and in need of replacement. If we find any problems, we can fix it with OEM parts and others by top aftermarket suppliers. Once we know all parts fit properly and are not loose or worn, we replace the old differential fluid to ensure your metal parts are lubricated and do not generate friction and heat. A simple differential fluid replacement often will cure any issues afflicting your front or rear differential.
If you let the fluid in your front or rear differential deteriorate or get too low, the differential suffers damage. Regular inspection to top off the fluid and ensure the differential is tight and helps to make sure it will last a lot longer. If the fluid has deteriorated to the point it has lost most viscosity, you need to replace it to stop the metal parts from suffering excessive wear and tear. We ensure your differential is working perfectly with clean fluid lubricating it and preventing friction.
