What is a differential cover?

The differential cover is a metal plate that bolts onto the rear (or front) differential. It seals the gears inside and holds the gear oil. A strong aftermarket cover can protect the differential from damage when off-roading.

What are the benefits of using a stronger differential cover?

A well-built differential cover like this one protects the gears and axles from damage, especially when off-roading. It also increases the structural rigidity of the differential, which reduces deflection under high-torque situations.

Is any special maintenance required for this differential cover?

No special maintenance is required. Just make sure to check the gear oil level periodically and replace it according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper torque specs and sealant recommendations.
