Rebuilt, modified, and remanufactured differentials

Regular wear and tear is a regular part of owning a vehicle and it will also affect the differential. For repairing the damage that is done to the differential there are two main ways to repair a differential. The two ways are to rebuild or we can also remanufacture the differential. The main difference between rebuilding and remanufacturing which will replace any damaged part or part that could have any wear with replacement parts. Rebuilding instead will clean the differential. Then the process will inspect the components, replace parts if needed and repair components. Rebuilding will then rebuild or repair all of the components and only replace the part if it cannot be repaired. We can also modify differentials for any situation you may need. This could be modifying the differential for off-road use.

What is the best way to know if you have a damaged axle?

Do you suspect you have a damaged axle? Maybe you ran into a curb too hard or drove over a large pothole. Knowing if your axle has been damaged means you can fix the damage before it gets worse. The following is what you may sense while driving your vehicle if your axle has been damaged. If you feel one or more of the following sensations while driving your vehicle, take it to a shop as soon as possible. Ask your mechanic to inspect your axle.

• Vibrations – A strong vibration will be felt when driving your vehicle from the axle damage. The feeling can also feel more intense as you turn the steering wheel, also. 
• Noise – The noise from axle damage often comes from gears no longer lining up together. This causes the gears to grind against each other causing a sound while you drive. The axle just needs to get a dent or a bend for this to happen.
• Leaks – You may see fluids leaking from the axle. This is caused by a crack or a dent in an axle. This is a cause for concern because the axle may no longer be properly lubricated.
