Your car’s differential is one of the key comonenets in keeping the car moving in the right direction. It’s essentially what keeps your front and wheel tires on the same page, making sure each set is given the right amount of power to go in whichever the direction the driver wishes. When your differential goes bad, it could be bad news for your car.


We are experts at rebuilding differentials & regearing.


We’re going to take a look at bad differential symptoms to look out for and what causes a rear differential to go bad in the first place.

Bad Differential Symptoms

  • Your vehicle is quickly going through oil.
  • Difficulty steering.
  • A loud front differential noise, such as the grinding of gears, clunking, or a “howling” sound.
  • Rear differential noises. This would be caused by gears that are out of place or lack of lubrication.


  • Extensive and inexplicable wear and tear on your tires.
  • Vibrations that are constant and/or enhances while accelerating the vehicle.
  • A driveshaft that is out-of-balance.


What Causes a Rear Differential to Go Bad?

The easiest way to cause problems with your differential is allowing your car to spin out a lot. Every once in a while, unintentionally, spinning out shouldn’t cause too much harm. But instances, where your front wheels remain on the road while your back wheels slide out, will cause harm. It’s these kinds of driving maneuvers that could crack or damage parts of your differential.
