A rear differential is a key drivetrain component designed to transmit torque from the driveshaft to the rear wheels while adjusting the gear ratio and allowing wheels to rotate at different speeds during turns.

The differential includes the ring and pinion gears, housing, bearings, seals, and internal differential mechanism. Its condition directly affects drivetrain noise, smooth operation, and axle durability.

A faulty rear differential may cause humming noise while driving, vibration, oil leaks, axle play, knocking during acceleration, overheating, or differential lock issues.

Our catalog includes rear differentials for many vehicle brands and drivetrain types. Available options include:

genuine factory rear differentials

reliable aftermarket replacements

tested used differentials in good condition

units with different gear ratios

solutions for rear-wheel and all-wheel drive
