What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Ford Focus

Your Focus’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Focus and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 2011 Ford Focus to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Ford's recommendations.
