The differential has a hard life, it rotates the outside driven wheel on your vehicle faster than the inside driven wheel to improve the cornering and performance of your vehicle whilst maintaining your tyre’s maximum usable life. Without it your tyres would wear prematurely
We supply new and reconditioned car differentials, drive shafts and prop shafts. We recondition and rebuild here at our Botany workshop.
The drive-train serves two functions: it transfers power evenly from the engine to all drive wheels and it varies the amount of torque. The drive-train may include the differential, a transfer case (in four-wheel and all-wheel drive cars) and the transmission.
When your wheels are turning, your car’s differential is hard at work adjusting for the different paths of the inside and outside wheels so that undue slippage doesn’t occur. The differential fluid’s job is to lubricate gears, bearings and shafts in this system. Our Differential Service replaces the old, depleted fluid with new.
The differential is the mechanical component that spins both the left and right wheels, but lets them rotate at different speeds so that the vehicle can make turns. When a vehicle makes a turn, the outer wheel has to turn faster than the inner wheel, due to the difference in the length of the paths they take. The differential is located between the two wheels, and is attached to each wheel by an axle shaft. Four-wheel drive vehicles have a separate-differential for each pair of wheels, connected through a transfer case.
Transfer cases are found on four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles. This gearbox divides the transmission power output between the rear differential and the front differential. Most transfer cases allow the front wheels to be disengaged and spin freely during normal driving conditions. When desired, power is transferred to all four wheels.
Transfer case fluid provides lubrication to gears, bearings, shafts, and other internal components. It is important to keep your transfer case serviced and not forgotten as repairs can be very costly.
If you have any questions or if your differential transfer case are giving you problems, then give us a call today and let us take a look at your vehicle.
At C.A.T.S our Transmission and Gearbox technicians are masters of it’s art who were trained on site. Many have been enjoyed here for decades and have had prosperous careers.
Our professionalism and loyalty to the Auto trade is what drew the attention of the NRMA and it made us one of the first Automatic transmission NRMA Approved Repairer.
To this day many of NRMA,s customers are recommended to make the trip to Botany.
As there are a lot more transmissions today than in the days before electronics, today’s equipment makes them easier to repair. All the guess work is now gone from fixing automatic transmissions and with computers used to diagnose faults, all the repairs are carried out with the highest level of expertise and professionalism.
Our goal is to ensure that all work is completed right the first time, at the lowest costs possible. So if you require a transmission service or a quote for a new Automatic transmission, give us a call and you will not be disappointed.
