I've got a 2005 GMC Yukon 5.3L 4x4 with 234,000 miles, all stock. It makes a clicking noise similar to this, that I can usually only hear with windows down and driving next to something like a wall or tall curb. It only does it when applying gas though, and in a forward gear. I have examined the u-joints and driveshafts and they look fine and tight. It does look original. Do you think this is the issue?

Greetings from Skopje Sir, i have problem that might be conected with bad diferential. When accelerate, the car is pulling on left side, my stering wheel is going about 3-4cm on left...at first we tought that it can be caused by bad rubber parts, suspension, i've change all those parts, the gheometry set up is perfect, but the car still pulling left, just when accelerating....some mehanic told me that this problem can be caused by the differential, i am asking you advise, does it possible the differential doing that pulling? The car is seat ibiza 1.8t 2006. Thank you sir.

@TheAbJGarage 2 жыл бұрын

@@darkoqc1670 Dear! If your car is pulling to one side when accelerating please check wheel alignment. wheel alignment related problems, unbalanced tires, and wrong tie rod adjustment can also lead to car pulling to one side. Please also check if there are loose or damaged suspension components. It is not common for Differentials to cause such a problem. also check to see if there is brake releasing problem on some of the wheels.

a humming noise was coming from my forester and a mechanic changed wheel bearing assembly but that did not solved my problem. I am experiencing same symptoms like corning issue, sudden speed gain, poor steering handling. Every mechanic has tried from changing the breaks, rotors, calipers to wheel bearing but no one ever find the problem. I am really zero confidence on so called mechanics. Now I am thinking the amount I paid to them for not solving my issue could have used as a down payment for new car.

Hello! I just had my rear differential replaced. It sounded horrible before but it’s 100% better. However, I was recently told that when you need a balance and rotation, that it alone can cause the differential to go bad!? This really didn’t make any sense to me but I needed to ask if this is correct information. Thank you

@TheAbJGarage 2 жыл бұрын

Dear!! unbalanced tires are cause of vibration, the vibration and wobbling at the tires can make the final drive assembly to go bad. Tire rotation on the other hand helps to have even tire wear on all the wheels, if the drive wheel tires have uneven wear that can cause unwanted vibration. Rotation will temporarily fix the vibration issue if it is caused by unevenly worn tire.

How to know that the differential is over heating

@TheAbJGarage 2 жыл бұрын

I have a friend who was driving F150 and engaged four wheel drive for a while and then after a while we started having that hot oil smell and we found out that differential has overheated, especially if you were involved in massive towing, that will leads to differential overheating, which feels pretty warm to the touch.

Why can’t they make one solid piece instead of pieces

@TheAbJGarage 21 күн бұрын

one solid piece that split power, change direction of power flow, multiply torque, and allow left and right wheel to be driven at different speed? It seems human knowledge is yet to develop to create a solid piece differential that will allow left and relight wheels to be driven at different speed!
