What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1988 Chrysler LeBaron

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your LeBaron's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your LeBaron’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1988 Chrysler LeBaron, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Chrysler's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
