Drivetrain FAQs

What are the main causes of drivetrain problems?

There are so many factors that can make the drivetrain in your vehicle become faulty, some of them are normal wear and tear, insufficient lubrication, damaged axles, or bad driveshaft. Continuous maintenance is important if you want to stop these problems.

What is the recommended frequency for servicing my drivetrain?

A drivetrain service is usually recommended by most manufacturers every 30,000 miles. If you drive in very challenging situations or you go on off-road trips very often, you will likely need to service your drivetrain more regularly.

What happens if I do not address drivetrain problems?

Ignoring drivetrain issues can result in more serious problems, including total loss of power to the wheels or even transmission failure. Early action on issues can help you avoid expensive repairs.

Is a loud differential risky?

A loud differential is an indicator of insufficient lubrication. If not addressed, it can cause total differential failure, which can influence your vehicle’s ability to drive. Make sure you give your vehicle the necessary attention when you hear noise from the drivetrain.
