ring gear

The ring gear is attached to the differential carrier, a large piece of metal. The carrier is a wrapper that consists of all the gears and bearings, which are interconnected with each other. In addition, the ring gear is also associated with another toothed wheel known as the pinion gear. The engine turns the pinion gear, and spinning it causes those ring gears to all go rotational as does that differential carrier. This is an essential connection for the operation of your car.

The teeth of the ring gear correspond to those on each side gear in the differential. These side gears are teethed connected to the axles, which rotate and move your wheels. It permits the wheels to turn independently at different speeds of each other, especially when there is requirement for one wheel that has less traction than another. Not only is this causing your car to be less balanced and able to maneuver turns more safely.

What You Need to Know

The ring gear in an axle is similar to any other wear item on your car, it can experience enough use and damage over time just like how a pair of shoes get worn down from miles walked. This usually results in chipped or broken teeth on the ring gear, worn-out bearings, or a cracked carrier. The ring gear can become worn out over time and should be replaced if you being to hear clunking or grinding noises coming from the car, or feel shaking/vibrations when turning/speeding up.

If you think the ring gear could be bad, it might bee time to take your car over to a differential repair expert. Upon removing the differential from your car, he will inspect it carefully including the ring gear and other essentials. In case there is a damage on the ring gear, the mechanic can even weld-in new teeth to correct this or it would be necessary to replace all affected parts. In the latter scenario, you could even end up requiring a complete new differential assembly if the harm is extreme.
