What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2002 Chevrolet Impala

Your Impala drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Chevrolet, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2002 Chevrolet Impala to maintain its performance power. Follow Chevrolet's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Chevrolet Impala Drivetrain Repairs

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 2002 Chevrolet Impala drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Chevrolet could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Chevrolet Impala doesn’t drive like it used to.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 2002 Chevrolet Impala drivetrain repair is expensive. Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
