Proper alignment is essential to avoiding gear failure and prolonging the life of your differential components.

Comprehensive Differentials Servicing to Ensure Longevity
Timely inspection and servicing of your gear housing play a key role in avoiding expensive repairs and downtime. At D & R Differentials, we provide thorough servicing to detect early signs of wear and tear, making sure your differential operates smoothly. Routine servicing supports smoother gear engagement and avoids noises or vibrations that could indicate mechanical problems.
Differential Overhauls to Renew Internal Components
When a differential shows signs of severe wear or damage, an overhaul is often necessary. Our overhaul service involves removing, disassembling, cleaning and repairing or replacing internal parts to restore full functionality. This comprehensive process extends the life of your differential, helping you avoid premature replacement costs.
Customising and Alterations for Unique Vehicle Requirements
We offer custom differential services, such as altering length and dimensions to suit specific vehicle needs. Whether you require a different size or modification for performance enhancement, our specialist team can design and build custom-made differentials tailored to your vehicle. These customisations are ideal for race cars, vintage vehicles and specialised applications.
Importance of Differential Repairs and Maintenance for Vehicle Safety
Smooth turning is made possible as the differential allows outside wheels to spin faster than inside wheels when cornering, preventing tyre skidding and uneven wear. Proper power distribution and direction change from the driveshaft to axle shafts are also key functions to maintain. Neglecting differential maintenance can cause handling problems, increased tyre wear and potential drivetrain failure.
