Rear diff issue??
Hey brought my car to get aligned today due to hard vibrations when turning left on the highway. Also pulls to the right hard, anyways they said that the alignment being off wouldnt make that loud of a noise. He suggested it might be the rear diff. Does anyone have any ideas or opinions because im stressing out.. thanks
Change the rear Diff. fluid, and also the Transfer Case Fluid.
This is the only way to check the units for internal damage, and it is the least expenssive way to see what is going on.
Dirty oil, or dark oil is a sign of a problem, if the fluids have been changed recently.
If the fluids have not been changed for a while, 10-15,000 miles, it is hard to tell, as fluids are old and dark. Normal for oils that old.
After you change the fluids, check again in a week or two. You will see which unit is getting the oil dirty.
You will be able to tell which part, rear or fron,t is having wear problems.
The oil will look dirty as if you never changed it a few weeks back.
