Have you ever thought about how your vehicle goes around a corner? The wheels of your vehicle travel at different speeds. As a result, the wheels need to be able to spin at their own individual speeds. How is a vehicle able to do this? Enter the differential. Basically, the differential is made up of many different sets of gears, and it connects the power from the engine to the tires while also allowing the tires to turn at different speeds from each other. If something goes wrong with the system, it can cause further damage to other parts of your vehicle., and it should be looked at by your trusted Toyota mechanic as soon as possible.
How do I know if my differential needs to be repaired?
The next time you take your vehicle in for its regularly scheduled maintenance, you can ask your trusted mechanic about checking the differential fluid. Otherwise, you should consider having it changed every 30,000 miles to 50,000 miles roughly. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should have your vehicle serviced:
Whining Noise
Tire Damage
Vibrations
Gear Grinding
Fluids Leaking
Tougher Handling
