How to safely remove and install a spare wheel and differential in a Kia Sorento?

Raise the rear of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, blocking the front wheels to prevent rolling, and place the transaxle in Neutral with the parking brake off before removing the spare wheel. Drain the differential lubricant, then mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the pinion flange and unbolt the driveshaft from the flange, suspending it with a piece of wire to avoid letting it hang by the center support bearing. Remove the driveaxles, support the differential with a floor jack, and remove the mounting fasteners before slowly lowering the jack. Installation is the reverse of removal, ensuring all fasteners are tightened to the specified torque values and filling the differential with the proper lubricant.

Kia Sorento Differential

The Kia Sorento Differential allows the SUV to corner easily by directing engine torque to each drive wheel while allowing them to spin at different speeds. The system can be placed on the front axle in front wheel drive trims, the rear in the rear drive versions, and between the axles in all wheel drive editions, which ensures every Sorento always finds traction when making a turn. Over the years, Kia has installed two main Differential styles. The open Differential uses a gear set that evenly divides the torque to a great benefit on the streets but can be easily lost if one tire hits ice. Many Sorento models aimed at tougher conditions were upgraded with a limited slip design, which packs clutches and spring pressure, allowing the wheels to continue to rotate at different rates but sending more power to the tire with better bite. This swap does improve the launch and stability though it can slip when both tires face slick ground from a stop. No matter what type, maintaining the level of Differential fluid and listening for clanks or rattles helps the Kia drivetrain last. Regular Differential inspections are simple but very important for Kia reliability and can save any Sorento owner costly repairs.

If you're in search of top-notch, reasonably priced OEM Kia Sorento Differential, then you've found the perfect spot. Our website boasts an extensive inventory of Kia Sorento Differential, all priced at the market's premier price. Rest assured, every genuine part we offer comes with a warranty straight from the manufacturer.
