Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used differential
- Confirm the exact gear ratio (e.g., 3.55 vs 3.73) by checking axle tags or counting ring and pinion teeth; mismatched ratios in 4WD or AWD vehicles will destroy the transfer case.
- Check differential carrier type (open, limited-slip, or electronic locking) and verify axle shaft spline counts match your vehicle's axle shafts.
- Inspect the drain plug magnet for heavy metal shavings and turn the input yoke by hand to check for smooth rotation, excessive backlash, or pinion bearing play.
- Verify mounting points, cover bolt patterns, and ABS wheel speed sensor tone ring locations across different model years.
