What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Ford Expedition

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Expedition's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Ford, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2018 Ford Expedition to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Ford's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Ford Expedition Drivetrain Repairs

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2018 Ford Expedition drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Ford could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
