Rear Differential Service at Hagerstown Kia
When your engine is providing torque to the wheels, the last thing the car needs is to have those wheels skipping and bouncing over the road. The way we prevent this is through proper differential service. In your rear-wheel drive vehicle, the differential is located on the back axle, and that differential needs differential fluid (also known as gear oil) to keep it lubricated and cooled. When that gear oil starts to burn, you lose the valuable ability to divide the power of the engine between two different wheels. We here at Hagerstown Kia are here to help you keep your rear differential in the best shape possible.

The Necessity of Differential Service
The first models of cars had some difficulty around corners since their powered wheels turned at the same rate. This was solved by the introduction of a differential, which could divide the power of the engine between the wheels to make them move at different speeds when needed. When your rear differential needs service, it most commonly makes a squealing sound or a burning smell coming from the back of the car. Any of these signs could mean differential problems, so come in and have us take a look.
When Is It Time to Get Differential Service?
Of course any time you have trouble with your rear differential, you can bring it in to our expert technicians who will take a look. However, barring any issues, differential fluid can be replaced every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on your owner's manual's recommendation. Keeping your differential serviced will make sure it keeps doing its job without issue for years to come.
