FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL SERVICES

Have you ever wondered how your car smoothly navigates turns without slipping or losing control? That confident handling comes from a hardworking drivetrain component called the differential. Depending on your vehicle’s design, it may have a front differential, a rear differential, or both.

When you turn the wheel, your tires don’t all travel the same distance or spin at the same speed. The differentials take care of that by allowing wheels on the same axle to rotate independently when needed. This helps maintain stability, traction, and balanced handling— especially through corners or when road conditions aren’t the same from side to side.

Like many critical systems in your vehicle, differential systems rely on clean, high-quality fluid to stay properly lubricated and protected. Over time, that fluid can wear down or become contaminated, reducing its ability to safeguard internal gears. Routine differential service helps prevent wear and supports the long-term health of your drivetrain.

The differential is a remarkable piece of automotive engineering and an essential part of how your vehicle drives and handles. Whether you’re following factory-recommended front and rear differential service intervals or noticing something that doesn’t feel quite right, our expert technicians at Right Way Auto Repair are here to help keep your vehicle operating as intended —through every curve, corner, and turn of the road.

If you have questions about your differential or it’s time for service, give us a call or bring your vehicle in—we’re always happy to assist.
