- Ribbed body adds rigidity and strength
- Heat treated and shot peened for direct impact
- Machined seal face intended for a leak free fit
Inspecting the differential cover
A differential cover seals the front of the axle housing and protects the ring and pinion from road debris, water and stones. On a rear axle it is also the part you remove when you want to check gear contact, inspect the carrier or change the gear oil, so a cover that is easy to remove and refit without distortion saves time at every service.
Cover gaskets and sealing surfaces are where leaks usually start. Before fitting a cover, clean both faces, remove old gasket material with a plastic scraper and look for nicks or warping. Aluminum covers are softer than steel, so tighten the bolts evenly in a cross pattern and avoid overtightening them.
- Check the fill level after the first few drives
- Look for seepage around the bolt holes after a week of use
- Replace the gasket whenever the cover comes off
- Keep the drain plug and fill plug clean and tight
