1995 Ford Explorer Drivetrain Service

Your Explorer’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 Explorer and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1995 Ford Explorer, 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.

Ford Explorer 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 fix many 1995 Ford Explorer drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Ford Explorer may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. 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. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Ford Explorer drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1995 Ford Explorer? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
