All About 2012 Hyundai Tucson Drivetrain Service

Your Tucson’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Hyundai, from back to front. It’s one of your Tucson’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2012 Hyundai Tucson, 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.
