Whether you drive a passenger car, 4WD, ute, or van, our technicians have the knowledge and skills to diagnose and repair differential problems correctly the first time.

What is a Differential and Why is it Important?

The differential is a critical part of your vehicle’s drivetrain. It allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds when you turn corners, which provides better handling, reduces tyre wear, and improves safety. Without a properly functioning differential, your vehicle may experience vibrations, strange noises, difficulty cornering, or even major drivetrain damage over time.

In 4WD and AWD vehicles, differentials work even harder, handling more complex torque distribution between all four wheels. Regular maintenance and early repairs are essential to avoid costly replacements down the line.

Common Signs Your Differential Needs Repair

If you notice any of the following symptoms, your differential may need servicing or repair:

• Whining, humming, or clunking noises from under the car
• Excessive vibration while driving
• Fluid leaks near the axle or differential housing
• Difficulty turning corners or uneven tyre wear
• Burning smells from the drivetrain area
