All About 1988 Hyundai Excel Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Excel's engine to its 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: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. Care for your 1988 Hyundai Excel to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Hyundai's recommendations.
