Truck Differential Repair and Maintenance
Importance of differentials

Every vehicle has a front or rear differential. A differential is a gearbox with three components that includes a ring gear, a side gear, and a pinion gear.
Its main function is between the two sides of the car. The differential helps transfer power from the engine to the wheel axles. This helps the wheels turn to the right or left. A 2-wheel drive car does not require a rear differential. However, a four-wheel drive transmission requires both front and rear differentials.
The differential is used to transfer power to the wheels of the vehicle. It regulates the speed of the wheel when the vehicle moves through turns. The differential allows the wheels to turn at a certain speed while maintaining control.
Any vehicle without a differential will not drive steadily. Most four-wheel drive vehicles have a rear differential, and the front wheels have differentials in the rear. The differential for the front is known as the rear axle. It is located between the front wheels. In other vehicles, the differential is necessary to regulate power between the wheels.
Ressorts Industriels Inc. / Centre de Camion C.T. CAM Inc specializes in the repair, diagnosis, remanufacturing, and refurbishment of quality parts.
Differential repair: Things to consider

When repairing a differential, it is important to consider where the vehicle is driven most often. It is crucial to consider the terrain on which the vehicle will be driven. Gravel and dirt roads will have an impact on the vehicle’s differential.
Differential maintenance differs from one vehicle to another. Using differential fluid will have a positive impact on the health and safety of the vehicle. When the vehicle’s differential makes noise, it means that the vehicle is not sufficiently lubricated. The average cost of repairing differentials depends on the type of repair.
Sometimes it is not just the rear that needs to be repaired. Replacing the oil is not a major repair and will not be very expensive. However, if the differential requires more extensive repairs, it will be more costly.
Lubrication is essential to keep the truck differential in good condition. Changing the differential on a regular basis is necessary.
If you do not lubricate the differential on a daily basis, the vehicle will not drive as expected. The differential oil must be in good condition. Differential gears can overheat due to friction. Therefore, using differential oil will help prevent equipment wear.
