Mazda Tribute Differential

The Mazda Tribute Differential is set to divide the power of the engine into the right and left drive wheels so that the small SUV can corner without scraping its tires. In front-wheel-drive models of the SUV, there is only one open Differential between the transaxle and a pack of bevel gears applied to provide the wheels with equal power while still allowing different rotation speeds. The all-wheel-drive models, which are provided in various Mazda model years, combine that front unit with a rear open Differential and a viscous center coupling such that the front and rear axles are allowed to rotate independently on either rough or tarmac surfaces. Drivers who want more grip in mud or snow might choose a limited-slip type, which is identified by clutch packs that temporarily engage the side gears and apply a little more torque to the tire with remaining traction. This is unlike the simpler open gear set where the power is always distributed equally, a construction that can place the vehicle in a stationary position in case one wheel rotates on ice. The limited-slip unit increases weight and is prone to chatter when starting on wet pavement, but it increases acceleration out of turns and decreases wheelspin when driven spiritedly. The new lubricant that is applied with each generation of Mazda is critical, as heat and pressure dilute the lubricant and may contribute to a clunky noise or accelerated wear of the rings and pinions, and it makes Mazda handling predictable. By upholding these features, Mazda succeeds in keeping the end product, the Tribute, sure-footed and stable.

Mazda Tribute Differential Parts and Q&A

  • Q: How to remove and install the differential on Mazda Tribute?
    A:
    To raise the rear of the vehicle and ensure that it is on jackstands without rolling the front wheels, start with 2004 and older models but first start with jackstands and ensure that the rear side is raised. It is then removed by removing the Driveshaft and driveaxles, then the bolt holding the differential bracket to the subframe and then the three bolts holding the differential mass damper. Unscrew the electrical connector at the tip of the top of the differential, use a floor jack to stabilize the rear, and remove four bolts holding the differential on the brackets. Unscrew the bolts which hold the brackets to the subframe, lift the brackets and take the differential out. Installation: When installing install all mass damper bolts finger tight, and then tighten them in the required sequence, all the fasteners should be tightened to the required specification. On models 2005-2012, lift the vehicle up and place it on jackstands and take out the spare tire, rear driveaxles and then the driveshaft. Install a floor jack underneath the differential, tie-downs, and disconnect the wiring, and then take away the differential front mounting brackets. Ensure that the differential is stabilized on an assistant and remove the three mount bolts at the rear and then with caution, lower and remove a differential, tightening the fasteners to the recommended torque when installing. To model years 2013 and subsequent, jack and place the vehicle on jackstands, loosen the driveaxles and vehicle rear subframe including the differential attached. Unscrew the four mounting bolts of the front and two of the rear of the differential assembly, then the three of the left and right mounting bracket bolts, lastly, unscrew the differential off the subframe. When installing, make sure that all fasteners are tightened to the recommended torque.
