What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Audi RS5

Your RS5’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Audi, from back to front. It’s one of your RS5’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2018 Audi RS5 to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Audi's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your RS5 might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
