Ford Fairmont Differential Cover

The Ford Fairmont Differential Cover acts as a sealed shield to ensure that the gear oil remains within the axle, keeping all dirt out. In turn, this helps keep the car's ring and pinion quiet and functioning as it should. The early Fairmont sedan and wagon was an example of the original steel stamping style. This style incorporated a previously removable plate drawn down by bolts located around the perimeter of the housing. The nature of this concept also recommended itself to modest servicing because withdrawal of the Differential Cover directly presented the bearings and gears. When later Fairmont models adopted suspension options that required better heat control, the Ford line switched to either aluminum or cast iron versions, which were still bolt-on but stiffer so the Differential Cover could dissipate heat and not warp under long highway runs. No matter the material, every Ford axle Differential Cover prevents oil leaks and impairment by moisture in the ring-and-pinion mesh that would cause expensive wear and tear. Some high-duty trims of the Fairmont had baffles around the fill opening. This allowed the Differential Cover to manage the oil splash during sharp turns. In turn, it improved the life of the gear. Also, the addition didn't add any weight. The fourth commitment of Ford is that durability shines through in every ride, providing smooth and quiet performances.
