All About 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe Drivetrain Service

Your Santa Fe’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Hyundai, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Hyundai's recommendations.

What Are Hyundai Santa Fe Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Santa Fe might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.

A lot depends on your driving style and climate. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Hyundai Santa Fe doesn’t drive like it used to.
