Sydney Differential Services FAQs
How does PROTRUCK’s differential repair service work for Sydney customers?
For Sydney customers, the process is straightforward. You can ship your differential directly to our Fountaindale workshop, where our skilled technicians inspect, repair, or recondition it using professional-grade tools and quality components. Once complete, your unit is promptly returned, helping you minimise downtime and keep your vehicle or machinery running reliably.
Can I ship my differential from anywhere in Australia?
Yes. Many of our clients from Sydney and across the country send their differentials to our workshop for servicing and diff repairs. We can help arrange freight or work with your preferred carrier. This system makes it easy to access professional workmanship no matter where you’re based.
What types of vehicles can PROTRUCK's differential specialists handle?
Our workshop handles a wide range of vehicles, from utes and cars to rear wheel drive vehicles, performance builds, heavy trucks, and trailers. We regularly work with operators in industries such as transport, logistics, and mining, where dependable driveline performance is essential.
Our expertise also extends beyond differentials. We service manual and automatic transmissions, driveline components, and diff lockers, completing every job with the precision and consistency that PROTRUCK is known for.
Our expertise also extends to diff conversions, allowing us to adapt or modify driveline setups across a wide range of vehicle types and configurations.
Do you stock an extensive range of reconditioned and exchange differentials?
Yes. PROTRUCK supplies a complete range of reconditioned and exchange differentials, making it easy for Sydney drivers and businesses to get back on the road quickly. We keep a large selection of popular Meritor exchange units in stock for fast turnaround and also rebuild or source units from trusted names such as Spicer, Volvo, Scania, Eaton, and Rockwell. We can also perform diff conversions for customers who require driveline modifications or performance-based changes.
Is there a warranty on reconditioned or exchange units?
Yes. All reconditioned and exchange differentials supplied by PROTRUCK are covered by a comprehensive warranty, giving you complete confidence in the quality of our workmanship and the reliability of the components we use.
Why is differential servicing so important?
Your differential handles immense stress every time you drive, especially when cornering or hauling loads. Routine servicing helps maintain balance between the drive wheels, improves handling, extends tyre life, and prevents damage caused by contaminated or low differential oil.
Even a simple fluid service can resolve overheating or burning smells caused by dirty or insufficient oil. Regular maintenance helps avoid costly repairs or premature failure, keeping your vehicle reliable and safe on Sydney roads.
How much does a differential repair or replacement cost?
The total price can vary depending on the vehicle type, component condition, and the level of work required, including diff conversions or ratio adjustments where requested. The most accurate way to determine pricing is to request a quote from our team. We’ll assess your differential, explain your options clearly, and provide a transparent, detailed estimate before any work begins.
What are common signs of differential trouble?
There are a few clear warning signs that your car or truck’s differential may need attention. Watch out for:
- Whining or howling noises that change with speed or when turning, which can indicate worn diff gears.
- Vibrations or shuddering through the chassis, often linked to imbalance or wear in the driveline.
- Leaking fluid, usually caused by worn seals or gaskets.
- A burning smell, which may suggest overheating or dirty oil inside the differential.
At PROTRUCK, we specialise in repairing differentials for all vehicle types, and our helpful technicians can quickly identify the source of any issue. Don’t worry if you’re unsure. Just bring it to us before it becomes a costly repair, and we’ll get your vehicle running smoothly again.
Can you supply parts without carrying out the full repair?
Yes. PROTRUCK offers an extensive range of high-quality components and differential services to support all types of repairs. We stock spare parts for diff repairs across light vehicles, 4WDs, and heavy trucks, including diff gears, seals, pinion bearings, and other hard-to-find items. Every component is selected for durability and performance.
If you already have a trusted local mechanic, our team can assist by supplying the exact parts they need to complete the repair quickly and correctly.
Do you offer diff conversions?
Yes. As part of our major and minor differential overhauls, PROTRUCK can also perform diff conversions for trucks, utes, and commercial vehicles. These conversions are carried out during full rebuilds or reconditioning work, allowing us to adapt gear ratios or modify driveline setups to suit specific performance or load requirements. Every conversion is completed with precision workmanship and tested for reliability before it leaves our workshop.
How do I choose a reliable differential specialist?
When selecting a workshop, look for diff specialists with proven experience, transparency, and integrity. A reputable business will have verified reviews, trade certifications, and warranty-backed work that demonstrates consistency and trust. Comparing a few quotes also helps you understand pricing, inclusions, and the level of service offered.
