Technical & Diagnostic Questions

Q: How do you know if an axle is bad?
A: Common symptoms of a bad axle include a clicking or clunking sound when turning, vibrations while driving (especially after hitting a pothole), or grease leaking onto the inside of your tire. While Automotix can supply you with a high-quality replacement axle, we recommend that a professional mechanic perform the official diagnosis.

Q: What kind of oil does a transfer case use?
A: The type of fluid or oil required for a transfer case is highly specific to your vehicle's make and model. Using the wrong fluid can cause serious damage. For this information, you should always consult your vehicle’s owner's manual or speak with a certified auto technician. Automotix can provide the replacement transfer case, but maintenance specifications should be sourced from the manufacturer.
