All About 2002 Hyundai Elantra Drivetrain Service

Your Elantra drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Hyundai, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2002 Hyundai Elantra, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Hyundai's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Your Hyundai Elantra may need driveshaft attention if you feel vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning.
