Owning a truck or SUV gives you the freedom you need to leave the road and create your own. However, you want to be sure it will prove reliable once you are off-road. Keeping an eye on your transmission and rear differential is key in maintaining your truck. At Gomez Transmissions, we don’t just ensure your transmission is up to the task, but we also inspect and repair any rear differential problems that could be present.
Types of Rear Differential Repairs
When dealing with the rear differential, the source of the problem varies. Some of the repairs we see include:
• Rear Differential Gasket Replacement– Just like other seals and gaskets made from silicone rubber, they start to wear out over time. This is an easy repair and includes replacing and sealing the differential cover.
• Rear Differential Pinion Seal– The seal around the yoke that attaches the driveshaft to the rear differential can start to leak after some time. This is a larger repair than the gasket replacement.
• Differential Side Seals– Side seals are a larger repair because they are what keep differential fluid from leaking into your rear brakes. The axel shafts have to be removed to complete this repair.
• Replacing Bearings– Your vehicle has side bearings as well as a pinion bearing that can start to deteriorate and need replacing.
• Replacing Gears– The teeth on your differential gears can start to chip or show signs of wear. When this happens, you need to have them replaced which can be costly.
• Complete Differential Replacement– If you have allowed your rear differential to go without repair when needed, the gears can sustain so much damage the whole system needs replaced.
