Rear Axle & Differential Assemblies
A howl that changes with speed, clunking during acceleration, vibration, leaking gear oil, or excessive wheel play can indicate wear inside a rear axle or differential. Replacing the complete assembly may be more practical than rebuilding gears and bearings individually.
S&W sources rear assemblies primarily from pickups, SUVs, vans, and rear-wheel-drive cars. The team identifies gear ratio, axle type, brake setup, locking or open differential, and available donor details, then checks the housing, mounting points, flanges, and visible seals for damage.
Why Buy Rear Ends from S&W?
- Gear Ratio Matching: Axle ratio and drivetrain details are checked because the wrong ratio can create serious drivability problems.
- Configuration Details: Brake type, axle style, locking features, and sensor provisions are identified when available.
- Housing Inspection: The housing, mounts, flanges, and accessible sealing areas are checked for visible damage or leaks.
- Complete Assembly Option: A complete used axle can reduce the parts hunting required for a piecemeal differential repair.

Rear Ends Questions
Does S&W pull used auto parts for customers?
S&W handles the part for customers buying through Full Service. In the U-Pull yard, customers bring their own tools and remove their own parts, so choose the operation that matches the help you need.
What information does S&W need to find the right used auto part?
Have the vehicle's year, make and model, the part needed, and the VIN when available. Relevant engine, transmission or vehicle configuration details can also help a parts specialist identify possible matches.
Can S&W use my VIN to help find the right auto part?
A VIN can help S&W identify details about a vehicle's configuration and narrow the search for a compatible used part. It supports the parts specialist's search, but it is not an automatic universal fitment guarantee.
