Differentials are found on the rear of two-wheel or four-wheel-drive cars. SUVs and trucks mostly do not need to be lubricated, except for some that may have grease nipples installed, which may require greasing more frequently based on the manufacturer’s manual. Modern vehicle differentials are designed to last for years depending on the nature of the driving. Symptoms of a failing differential may be in the form of a knocking sound, a loud roaring, sounding like off-road tires, or a grinding sound of a bearing. When such noises develop, it should be checked out as soon as possible. A failed differential can render some vehicles inoperable, though some may still be able to travel to the nearest mechanic shop. Depending on the nature of the failure, it can also be hazardous or be a danger to other vehicle occupants or other travelers on the highway.
