Why are Bearings & Bushings Part(s) Important

Bearings and Bushings are a key component in the differential. The differential sits between the drive shaft and the axles and is a very important component. The drive shaft is spun by the transmission, but spins parallel to to the rear wheels. Therefore, the power must be rotated 90 degrees to be useful. This is where the differential comes into play. Aside from rotating the power, the differential acts as one last gearing down for more torque. It also allows the wheels to move at different speeds while the car is turning (hence where it garnered its name). This process would not be possible without the bearings and bushings.

The bearings and bushings in a differential are what keeps it connected to the rest of the vehicle. The bearings make sure that the axle shafts and the input shaft turn smoothly. The bushings keep vibrations down in order to increases ride comfort and increases the life of the other components since vibration can cause uneven wear.
