From Engine to Asphalt — We Keep It Moving
What Is the Drivetrain?
The drivetrain is the system in your vehicle that transfers power from the engine to the wheels, allowing your car or truck to actually move. Think of it as the middleman between the engine that creates power and the tires that put that power to the pavement.
What Makes Up the Drivetrain?
Depending on your vehicle (front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or 4x4), the drivetrain typically includes:
Transmission – Adjusts power and torque to match speed and driving conditions.
Driveshaft – Transfers power from the transmission to the differential (mainly in RWD and 4WD vehicles).
Differential – Allows wheels to rotate at different speeds when turning.
Axles – Deliver power directly to the wheels.
CV Joints / U-Joints – Allow smooth movement and flexibility as your suspension travels.
Why It Matters
Without a properly functioning drivetrain, your vehicle can’t move efficiently—or safely. Worn axles, failing CV joints, or drivetrain vibration can lead to:
Clicking or clunking noises
Shaking while accelerating
Grease leaks near wheels
Difficulty turning or shifting
Keeping your drivetrain in good condition ensures smooth acceleration, better traction, and reliable performance every time you hit the road..
