Can Ford service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are the symptoms of a damaged Ford drivetrain system?

Noises toward the back of your Ford Aerostar, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Ford Aerostar differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

What causes a Aerostar’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate?

Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your Aerostar’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.

Can my Aerostar malfunction warning light be reset at home?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Aerostar, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Aerostar to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Aerostar?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Aerostar. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Aerostar.

Does my Aerostar transmission belong to the drivetrain system?

Yes, the drivetrain system in your Aerostar includes the transmission. Other components in the drivetrain are the driveshaft, axles, and differential. Together, these components deliver power from the engine to the wheels to push your Aerostar forward.

What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1986 Ford Aerostar

Your Aerostar’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Aerostar and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1986 Ford Aerostar, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Ford's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Ford Aerostar Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1986 Ford Aerostar drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Aerostar might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Ford Aerostar doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 1986 Ford Aerostar drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
