We do differential remanufacturing, rebuilds and modifications

Similar to axles, differentials will become damaged over time. From an accident to normal wear and tear your differential will need to be repaired. The two main repairing methods are remanufacturing and rebuilding the differential. The main difference between the two methods is how much of the differential is replaced. For a differential rebuild and remanufacture the differential will be taken apart and inspected thoroughly. Then, for a rebuild, all of the parts that could be repaired are, and any part that is not repairable is then replaced with a new part. Remanufacturing on the other hand will check for all the parts that are damaged or worn out and then replace all of them. Also, our experts at HRA are able to modify the differential for whatever you want. This includes modifying the differential for better use while off-roading. Contact us and let us help you!

How you can tell what a damaged axle feels like

Your vehicle may become damaged even if you are the most cautious driver. Normal wear and tear, a large pothole, and someone running into you are all ways your axle could become damaged. No matter how it has happened though you will feel some of the following sensations if the axle is damaged. If you encounter any of the following symptoms, take your axle to a mechanic and get them checked as soon as possible.

  • Noise – You may hear a grinding noise when the axle becomes dented or damaged. This is usually caused by the gears in the axle coming out of alignment and grinding against each other.
  • Vibrations – As you drive your vehicle may start to vibrate quite noticeably. This vibration effect may strengthen as you turn the steering wheel.
  • Leaks – While parked, you may see fluid dripping from the axle. This reddish-brown liquid lubricates the axle and your vehicle should be taken to a mechanic as your axle may not have enough lubrication anymore.
