WHAT IS A REAR DIFFERENTIAL?

A differential is one of the more complex vehicle systems similar in action and components to the transmission. The critical difference is in responsibility; the Rear Differential allows for the outer wheels to spin at a higher rate and cover slightly more distance compared to the inner wheels when turning corners. Without a Rear Differential to automatically adjust for variable wheel rotation when cornering, you would have horrible driving experiences with tires wearing out every few hundred miles. The good news is that Rear Differentials can last the life of your vehicle if maintained properly. All you need to consider is how to adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule for Rear Differential Service or schedule the service in response to Rear Differential noise.

GENERAL MOTORS REAR DIFFERENTIAL

GM is a notorious innovator of the rear differential beginning in the 1960s when the 12-bolt differential was introduced on muscle cars such as the Chevy Corvette. Since the 1960s, GM has improved the durability and service life of the Rear Differential; however, the Rear Differential has many vital components prone to wear and tear and can also experience problems due to some driving factors such as hauling heavy loads in stop-and-go traffic. For example, the Rear Differential on the 2019 Chevy Silverado is known for its strength, durability, and is ready to distribute up to 1,000 horsepower into the drive wheels. Heavy Duty trucks such as the Chevy Silverado put more pressure on the Rear Differential because of the intense engine power combined with heavy towing.
