Common signs of a differential problem can include whining or howling noises, clunking during acceleration or deceleration, vibration, fluid leaks or changes in how the vehicle feels while turning. The symptoms may change with vehicle speed, load or whether you are accelerating or coasting.
These symptoms do not automatically mean the differential needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Bearings, driveshafts, axles, tires and other drivetrain components can sometimes create similar symptoms. Certified Transmission in Bellevue can diagnose the vehicle and determine where the problem is actually coming from.
