All About 2006 Ford Escape Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Escape's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Ford, from back to front. It’s one of your Escape’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Ford Escape, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Ford's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

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