Significance of a Differential Assembly (Rear, Rear)

The differential assembly is one of the most significant parts of a vehicle. It ensures proper transmission of power to the wheels to deliver a smooth and hassle-free ride. A differential assembly is most at work when the vehicle is traversing on bends and winding roads when turning and curves are inevitable. Without a differential assembly, the vehicle would be much too difficult to maneuver and the vehicle would be prone to accidents and road mishaps. One of the important roles of a differential assembly is ensuring that there is a proper and even distribution of torque to a particular wheel or the other.

Every vehicle has a differential assembly. Old cars used to have a ring gear attached to the differential case. But due to automotive development and parts enhancement, the differential case and ring gear were combined in one piece that eventually developed into a small yet efficient and inexpensive differential assembly.

Inexpensive Replacement of Differential Assembly

Car maintenance could be expensive, which is why you must first determine if you really need to have it replaced before you decide to replace your car parts such as the differential assembly. You do not have to replace the whole assembly if you only need to replace some of the parts. You can purchase a brand new set of differential assembly but that would be quite expensive.

However, if you have a tight budget but need immediate differential assembly replacement, you can still do by exploring other alternatives such as buying a used or second-hand differential assembly and its parts. There are several shops and online stores that sell differential assembly for the rear that are in very good condition. Aside from getting them at a very low price thereby saving a lot of money, you would be able to buy other parts out of your spare money.

Tools Needed to Replace the Rear Differential Assembly

Another way to save money on differential assembly replacement is by learning how to replace the assembly on your own. Instead of paying for car services and automotive mechanics, you can replace the part yourself. All you have to do is be ready with the necessary tools such as the following:

  • 24 oz ball pein hammer
  • 48 oz plastic dead blow hammer
  • 48 oz sledge hammer
  • Assorted brass punches
  • Bearing press
  • Bearing pullers
  • Brake line wrench
  • Calipers or a micrometer
  • Carrier cap bolt socket
  • Dial indicator
  • Foot pounds torque wrench
  • Gear marking compound and a clean brush
  • Inch pounds torque wrench
  • Oil drain pan
  • Pinion nut socket
  • Pry bars for removing the carrier case
  • Punch for marking carrier caps
  • Ring gear bolt socket
  • Six-point cross pin bolt wrench
  • Three-foot breaker bar or strong impact gun

If you already have your needed tools you can now start disassembling your differential assembly to achieve a worry-free and smoother drive.
