All About 2010 Dodge Journey Drivetrain Service

Your Journey’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Dodge, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Journey and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2010 Dodge Journey, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Dodge's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Dodge Journey 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 visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2010 Dodge Journey drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Dodge 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." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Dodge Journey.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2010 Dodge Journey? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Big repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
