What is the performance of the differential failure?

Once the differential fails, the most obvious manifestation is that the car will make a noise. During the driving process, you can hear the "clang" sound of the differential to carry the housing, and the sound disappears when you return to neutral. .

The differential of the car is the main part of the drive axle. It mainly transmits power to the half-shafts on both sides, and then makes the two half-shafts rotate at different speeds, so that the wheels on both sides can travel at unequal distances while rolling. Thereby reducing the friction between the tire and the ground. After the differential fails, if the degree is relatively minor, the vehicle will only make abnormal noises, and if the degree is more serious, the car will not be able to drive. If the differential fails to work, the two driving half shafts will be rigidly connected, and the speed of the left and right wheels will become the same. In this case, the car can only drive straight and cannot turn. It is a very dangerous phenomenon, which may lead to traffic safety accidents. Therefore, once the differential is found to be damaged, it needs to be repaired in time.
