Whether you drive a Buick Enclave or Envision, or a GMC Terrain or Acadia, or any other AWD vehicle, you’ll find a differential between the rear wheels. For 4WD vehicles like the GMC Yukon, Sierra, or Canyon, there’s a front and a rear differential. They all have the same two purposes: to change the gear ratio for the wheels, and to change the direction of torque.
Gears inside the differential mesh together perfectly. As your car moves along the road, the gears spin through fluid inside the differential case. This fluid reduces friction between the gears, prevents corrosion and pitting, and cools the gears.
Over time, differential fluid deteriorates and becomes laden with moisture. Gear noise can develop and gears can wear down. However, that’s all preventable. All it takes is a differential service according to your Buick or GMC’s maintenance schedule.
