If you notice a rumbling sound coming from the rear end of your vehicle, it could require a differential repair. The differential or “rear end” is located between the two rear wheels of your automobile and connects to the axle.
This mechanism plays a key role in assisting your wheels as they turn, which means you can have big problems if your differential isn’t working correctly.
When your differential goes bad, it needs to be repaired quickly by a professional, like Uncle Al’s Automotive. Otherwise, it could start to affect other components located on your vehicle, like the transmission.

We can provide you with the diagnosis and service you require after speaking with us about the options available for your specific make and model.
Types of Differential Repairs
Driving with a bad differential will also be unsafe, and you may require one of the following repairs after a diagnosis has been completed:
- Gear replacement (for your rear differential)
- Bearing replacement
- Seal replacement
- Gasket replacement
If the gears in your rear differential are completely stripped, the typical recommendation is to install a completely new differential, which is the wisest choice if you have other worn components. You can avoid this by having differential maintenance performed regularly.
This includes maintenance tasks such as performing gasket changes or making sure the unit has an adequate amount of fluid.
