All About 1998 Hyundai Tiburon Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Tiburon's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Hyundai, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Tiburon and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1998 Hyundai Tiburon, 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.

When to Get Hyundai Tiburon 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 take care of most 1998 Hyundai Tiburon drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Hyundai Tiburon may need driveshaft attention if you feel heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Hyundai Tiburon drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1998 Hyundai Tiburon? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
