SANTA ROSA — Host, Sarah Rutan: In caring for your vehicle, its vital to maintain fluid levels to avoid damage. Today, we’re in Santa Rosa with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Dave Proffer of Empire Sports West to see why.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Dave Proffer: Okay, so what we have here is a differential that went low on fluid and caused damage to the actual gears. If the fluid was kept up to par, we would be changing the fluid and servicing it and putting new fluid in. But as a result of it being low on fluid, we are having to go through and completely overhaul this differential because the premature bearing wear, it caused damage to the gears where the gears have slipped and now we are replacing this gear and this gear due to the damage with all new bearings, new seals and new crush sleeves.
What we have here is the damaged bearing with the cage that has come apart due to improper fluid level or running it low on fluid when this is what it looks like now when it should look like a new bearing if the fluid had been kept up. So it’s very important to keep the fluid level and keep the condition good on your vehicle and components such as the rear differential for proper gear lubrication and bearing wear so they don’t end up worn and coming apart like this with improper levels.
