1999 Ford Taurus Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Taurus's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Taurus and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1999 Ford Taurus 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 Taurus 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1999 Ford Taurus drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Taurus might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Ford Taurus doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1999 Ford Taurus? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
