When you tune into you 1999 Dodge Caravan drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. Follow Dodge's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Dodge Caravan 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.

Your Caravan might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
