The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 300's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Chrysler, 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. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Chrysler 300, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Chrysler's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
