Most rear wheel drive vehicles feature a separate rear differential which transmits the drive from the gearbox to the rear wheels. All four wheel drive vehicles feature a separate rear differential, and may also feature a front differential to (depending on the engine configuration). The bearings in a differential can start to break down and become noisy.
The vehicle will continue to function as normal but will become noisy. At this stage the differential can be rebuilt with new bearings and seals without the need to replace the entire differential completely, usually at great expense.

Your car’s differential is one of the key players in keeping the car moving in the right direction. It’s essentially what keeps your front and wheel tires on the same page, making sure each set is given the right amount of power to go in whichever the direction the driver wishes.
When your differential goes bad, it could be bad news for your car.
We’re going to take a look at bad differential symptoms to look out for and what causes a rear differential to go bad in the first place. Hopefully, this knowledge will help you keep your car differentials in working order and alert you when you need to take it in for service.
Knowing what causes a rear differential to go bad should help you avoid making any of these mistakes and hopefully avoid breaking your differential. This is not one of those things that you can procrastinate on.
Some of these bad differential symptoms could be symptoms of a multitude of problems, but two or more of these symptoms together should be a clear cut sign of a malfunctioning differential.
Here are the most common bad differential symptoms to look out for:
1. Your vehicle is quickly going through oil.
2. Difficulty steering.
3. A loud front differential noise, such as the grinding of gears, clunking, or a “howling” sound.

5. Extensive and inexplicable wear and tear on your tires.
6. Vibrations that are constant and/or enhances while accelerating the vehicle.
