What should I know about fixing Dodge rear differentials?

Answer by  worker3294 (236)

Depending on the model you own, several differentials may have been available. It is absolutely important to make sure you have the right parts. Differential repair is difficult to do yourself if you are doing anything other than replacing seals, as the internal tolerances are difficult to get right, and you will not get them right the first time.

Well you really need to know a lot about differential before rebuilding one. If the backlash and pinion depth are perfect your diff can howl and possibly fail. You should look online or purchase about to learn about the basics or differential repair.

This is a very labor intensive job. If this is your first time trying to work on a differential you may want to consider getting it done by a proffesional.
