Fort Worth Honda Rear Differential Service

The differential is a gearbox located between the drive wheels on your vehicle. For a two-wheel drive vehicle, your differential will be found between the rear wheels.

Your Honda’s rear differential works in tandem with your transmission. Together, these parts deliver power from your engine to the axle that turns your wheels and enable your vehicle to move.

The differential also makes turning possible. The outside wheels of your vehicle have to rotate faster than the inside wheels when turning. Using a series of gears, the differential allows each side to turn at different speeds when necessary. This enables greater vehicle control.

Lubricating the inside of the differential helps protect your gears from excessive heat. This ultimately preserves the life and performance of the differential itself.

Too much heat over an extended period of time can cause the differential fluid to break down. When this happens, and fluid suffers from contamination or leaks, the gears inside may stop working properly. If this problem goes unchecked, and the gears start to grind, continued use of the vehicle can lead to costly repairs.

Needless to say, it’s crucial that you replace your differential fluid at regular intervals to keep your Honda running properly.

Consult your owner’s manual to find the recommended mileage point to have your rear differential serviced.

To ensure the highest level of vehicle performance, you should always use factory approved fluids in your car, truck, van, or SUV.

When servicing Hondas in the DFW area, Norm Reeves Honda North Richland Hills always uses the best OEM parts and fluids to return your vehicle to exact factory specifications.

So when it’s time to have your rear differential serviced, you can trust we’ll get the job done right.

But don’t wait too long to come see us.

If you wait too long to have your differential fluid changed, it can put the components it’s meant to protect at risk of accelerated wear and even permanent damage.

If your differential has suffered damage, it may need to be repaired or replaced.
