Early Warning Signs of Differential Problems

May 03 2018, Paillé GM

Catching differential problems early on could help you avoid major headaches in the future. When a differential completely breaks down, it might permanently damage the driveshaft, transmission, or tie rods. That is why you should always keep an eye out for any signs that your differential is near the end of its service life.

An old or failing differential will usually make a whining noise whenever the vehicle is being driven. That noise might even get louder when you are driving at high speeds or revving the engine. If the differential is about to go, then your vehicle may feel sluggish while coasting at low speeds.

The service team here at Paillé Berthierville can help you diagnose and address any mechanical problems you might be dealing with. Head to our Berthierville location today for a comprehensive inspection of your vehicle’s powertrain.
