Differential Repair in Fontana

A differential announces its wear with a whine that changes with speed, a clunk on direction changes, or metal on the drain magnet. Our Fontana shop rebuilds differentials for trucks and equipment — ring and pinion setup, bearings, carriers and housings — with the gear expertise to set them up right and the machine shop to save the ones others scrap.

Setup is the repair

A differential lives or dies on setup: pinion depth, backlash, bearing preload and tooth contact pattern. We rebuild with those numbers verified, not approximated — which is why a rebuilt differential from a gear shop runs quiet and lasts. Damaged gears are replaced; obsolete ones are manufactured in-house.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my differential whining?

A speed-dependent whine usually means gear tooth wear or a bearing going out — both get worse, and the inspection is free.

Can you rebuild differentials for older trucks?

Yes — including manufacturing gears that are no longer available for older and less common axles.
