In the event of a high impact front to rear collision, the front vehicle may suffer damage to the differential gears. This happens when the front vehicle happens to be under gear and the sudden impact on the driveshafts damages one or more of the gears in the differential housing. There would be unmistakeable evidence of gear fracture; which is different from normal wear and tear. In most cases damage to the differential gears would not be immediately evident following impact unless there is evidence of external damage to the casing. to be on the safe side, one would best recommend a thorough mechanical investigation following a high energy front to rear impact in order to rule out such occurances. In some cases, splinter damage also results in a damaged gearbox casing.
