How can the differential cover be removed and inspected for issues such as noise, vibration, or metal flakes in the oil on Mercury Zephyr?

Hence to gauge the differential for noise or vibration, and absence or crack on the gear teeth and the presence of metal particles in the oil you start by emptying the container. Now, unbolt the differential case cover from the axle housing as well as the differential unit. Wipe off any debris from the mating surfaces of the cover and the housing After that apply a thin bead of silicone sealant in the axial housing. Torque the cover bolts in a star like fashion to ensure that they meet the recommended torque, freshen up the oil levels in the axle and for few minutes, take the car for a spin around the workshop. Last, but not the least check for any leakage of water.

Mercury Zephyr Differential Cover

Differential Cover is a strong shield that keeps lubricant in the axle while dirt and moisture out of the ring and pinion gears in Mercury Zephyr. This Differential Cover allows owners to easily remove it in order to inspect, set up, and repair bearings and gear meshes within the solid rear drive axle found on classic Mercury models. The early editions of Zephyr had Differential Cover panels made from stamped steel as they were strong and cheap. With the evolution of the line, Zephyr variants began utilizing cast aluminum or iron versions of the Differential Cover which helped reduce weight or increase rigidity to help cope with higher heat loads from optional oil coolers and independent suspension configurations. The available finishing options for the components expanded to chrome for show appeal, powder-coated black for industrial stealth, and polished for corrosion resistance. All Mercury units, regardless of material, use the same bolt-on design. This design keeps the fluid in place, gears clean, and the car running smoothly. The updated Differential Cover offers the optimal experience to every Mercury Zephyr.
