Differential Repairs and Modifications
Each time you make a turn, your vehicle’s tires need to operate at different rates of speed. The differential, which you may hear called a transaxle in front wheel drive cars, facilitates the varied speed rotations. When you think of how often you adjust steering during each trip, it becomes clear that the differential works hard. Add the demands of off-roading, and this component takes a beating. Therefore, having MIT Drivetrain Specialists check and service it periodically is important. One important service is fluid change. Dirty fluid can interfere with proper function and increase internal wear. Serious off-roaders often opt for an upgraded differential. This choice affords improved torque and traction on unpaved surfaces. An improvement to the factory limited-slip differential, a locking model–either a selectable if you operate on streets a lot, an automatic, or a manual for a significant amount of trail driving–is recommended for operating off the beaten path. Regardless of the type of differential your vehicle has, be mindful of the signs that warn of trouble. These include fluid leaks, poor handling, overheating, tire wear, a burning odor, and vibration.
