Differentials come in many shapes and sizes and also have a variety of names and nicknames; however, they all perform the same series of functions, no matter what we call it. You have probably heard about ring and pinions, positraction, Posi track, and pumpkin before; well, this is all part of the rear end. Did you know that nearly every vehicle has and utilizes some form of differential? This is one part of a series of components we like to call the rear end. The driveshaft is attached to the differential, which is located at the rear axle, and this is why we call it the rear end. In rear-wheel drive vehicles, the driveshaft runs parallel to the direction of travel and is 90 degrees different from the axle, which drives the wheels.
At Chihuahua Transmission, located in Grand Prairie, Texas, we know all about the different gear ratios within the differential, and our team of expert auto and transmission experts know how to set up gear ratios in the differential, transaxles, and rear ends to provide peak performance such as greater torque and increased efficiency.
Differentials perform a number of functions; namely, when you make a turn, the outer wheels of your car or truck have further to travel to get to the destination than the inside wheel in a turn. The differential allows each wheel to turn independently at differing speeds without causing damage or binding. Imagine this: a marching band is making a turn together; the individuals on the inside turn marches in place while those on the outside are taking longer strides. Getting your wheels to accomplish this same task is the function of your differential, no matter its shape or size. You can imagine the complex inner workings of your differential, transaxle, and rear end it takes to make this happen. At Chihuahua Transmission in Grand Prairie, Texas, our team lives and breathes transmission repair and transmission replacements. We know how to maintain differentials, transaxles, and rear ends to keep them running at peak performance for your needs.
