All About 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood Drivetrain Service

Your Fleetwood’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Cadillac Fleetwood, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Cadillac's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
