Axle Shafts - Rear

Rear axle shafts are crucial components of your vehicleā€™s drivetrain. They transfer power from the differential to the wheels, enabling smooth and efficient movement.
  • Common Issues: Worn-out seals, cracks, or bent shafts can lead to vibrations, abnormal noises, or oil leaks.
  • Maintenance and Repairs: Regular inspections can identify potential issues before they escalate. We offer expert repairs, replacements, and lubrication services to keep your rear axle shafts in peak condition.

Differentials and Drive Axles - Rear

The differential and rear drive axles work together to distribute power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds during turns.
  • Differentials: Rear differentials house gears that divide engine power between the wheels, improving traction and handling.
  • Drive Axles: These connect the differential to the wheels and bear significant torque, making them prone to wear over time.
  • Signs of Trouble: Whining or grinding noises from the rear of the vehicle. Difficulty in cornering or handling. Leaks around the differential housing.

Driveshafts and Universal Joints

The driveshaft is a critical link in the drivetrain, transferring power from the transmission to the rear differential. Universal joints (U-joints) allow the driveshaft to flex and rotate as the vehicle moves.
  • Common Problems: Vibrations during acceleration, clunking noises, or a visible imbalance in the driveshaft may indicate worn or damaged U-joints or driveshaft components.
  • Maintenance Services: Regular lubrication of U-joints and inspection of driveshaft alignment can prevent costly repairs and ensure longevity.
