Signs of Differential Trouble and How to Help Prevent Issues

Here are possible signs that it’s time to get your differential looked at:

• Difficulty in handling vehicle
• Feel of grinding gears
• Sounds of banging, clanging, rattling, and whining
• Burning smells    

The best way to help prevent long-term issues to your differential, to your drivetrain, and wheels, is to:

1 Invest in a high-quality differential (Auburn Gear has over 83 years of experience in the gear industry with Operations in the USA). 

2 Have a qualified mechanic install your new investment – they can help ensure that is the correct spline count and gear ratio and look for any other potential issues associated with your third member (i.e., worn drive axle shafts or hypoid ring and pinion set).
