Differential

The differential is the part of your vehicle’s drivetrain that enables your left and right wheels to turn at different speed when making turns. The differential is positioned between two wheels and attached to each wheel by an axle shaft.

The differential has three jobs:

To aim the engine power at the wheels
To act as the final gear reduction in the vehicle, slowing the rotational speed of the transmission one final time before it hits the wheels
To transmit the power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds (This is the one that earned the differential its name.)

If you are unsure whether there is a problem with your differential, bring it in to Transmission Experts, where our experienced technicians can perform the proper diagnose & repair that will leave you feeling safe to drive your vehicle again.
