What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2020 Cadillac Escalade

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Escalade's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Escalade’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2020 Cadillac Escalade to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Cadillac's recommendations.

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2020 Cadillac Escalade drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Escalade might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
