Keeping Your Drivetrain in Check
When your differential isn’t working properly, it can affect more than just your cornering—it can put extra load on the gearbox, driveshaft and tyres.
That’s why we take the time to inspect every component connected to your diff, from seals and bearings to fluid condition and housing integrity. Our licensed team knows what to look for and how to fix it, whether it's a simple leak or internal gear damage.
We work on front, rear and all-wheel drive differentials and understand how each setup behaves across different vehicles. Our workshop is equipped to take on both minor adjustments and full rebuilds, with a strong focus on long-term reliability.
No unnecessary guesswork, just solid repairs backed by clear communication.
FAQ
What does a differential do in a car?
A differential splits engine torque between your wheels, allowing them to turn at different speeds, especially around corners. Without it, tyres would skip or drag, making handling unsafe. It’s a key part of your drivetrain that helps your vehicle turn smoothly and safely.
What are the signs that your differential needs repair?
Common signs include whining or grinding sounds when turning, vibrations while driving, oil leaking near the axle, or poor handling. You might also notice increased tyre wear. These are all signs your diff may need attention from a mechanic.
How often should you change differential fluid?
Most vehicles need diff fluid changed every 40,000–60,000 km, but it depends on how the vehicle is used. 4WDs and towing vehicles often need more frequent servicing. Old or contaminated fluid can cause premature wear, so it’s worth checking during regular maintenance.
