Acura Differential Service Chicago

Acura Differential Maintenance

When you ease into a turn, your outside wheels operate at a faster rotation than the inside wheels because your outside wheels must travel a further distance with the same amount of power. What helps distribute the power to keep your Acura running smoothly and aides in maintaining proper control and maneuverability is the differential.

Your Acura has a Complex Gearbox

Your Acura’s differential is a gearbox located between the drive wheels, and for two-wheel drive vehicles, that is what is called a rear differential. Working with your transmission, the rear differential delivers power to the axles that communicate turning angles, speed, and rate. Unlike your transmission or engine, there is no filter to be found in the differential.

Factory Trained Acura Differential Professionals

When you bring your Acura into McGrath Acura of Morton Grove for any service concerns, we will perform a complimentary Multi-Point inspection; during this inspection, we will also inspect your differential and ensure it is properly lubricated and all fluids are topped off to preserve the performance you’ve come to expect from your Acura. Operating temperatures and general wear can cause the fluids to break down and potentially lead to contamination and leaks endangering the differentials gears. If the gears are exposed to increased friction and start to grind, this could lead to some very costly repairs or replacements.

There are some things to look for between services to see if you might be approaching a differential service:

Damage or uneven tread wear on the inside of your tire

Difficulty handling your vehicle

Vibrations along the driveshaft while accelerating

Grinding gears or humming, that get louder when you acceleration
