How to remove and install a differential in an Acura MDX?

Raise the rear of the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands. Place the transaxle in Neutral with the parking brake off. Block the front wheels to prevent the vehicle from rolling. Drain the differential lubricant. Remove the driveaxles. Mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the pinion flange, then unbolt the driveshaft from the flange. Suspend the driveshaft with a piece of wire (don't let it hang by the center support bearing). Unbolt the damper weight from the differential. Support the differential with a floor jack, then remove the differential mounting bolts. Slowly lower the jack and detach the breather tube from the differential, then remove the differential from under the vehicle. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. Tighten all fasteners. Fill the differential with the proper lubricant.

Acura MDX Differential

Acura MDX Differential spreads engine torque to the individual drive wheels to help the SUV round corners with no tire scrubbing. Early Acura MDX models had a traditional open Differential on the front axle where power is evenly split and is ideal for use on dry pavement but will quickly make a wheel spin on ice. As the car developed, Acura introduced a limited slip Differential which packs clutches and a spring set, allowing both wheels to rotate at different speeds but pushing additional torque to the tire with grip, which enhances launch and handling in rain or snow. All wheel drive editions pair that unit with a rear Differential and a center assembly that work in a balancing rotation between axles, making all MDXs feel composed through bends. The primary contrast is the fact that the open style always transmits the same amount of force, whereas the limited slip responds to traction variations, reducing wheelspin. Keeping fluid topped up and listening for clanks can keep any Differential going longer, avoiding costly fixes for Acura owners and retaining the confident feeling that marks the MDX line.

We provide a broad range of OEM Acura MDX Differential at unbeatable prices on our website. For your OEM parts, You can count on the guaranteed quality, manufacturer's warranty, outstanding customer service, and prompt delivery. We look forward to your visit.
