What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2008 Infiniti FX45

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your FX45's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your FX45 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Infiniti FX45, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Infiniti's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Infiniti FX45 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 fix many 2008 Infiniti FX45 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your FX45 might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." 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 Infiniti FX45 drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2008 Infiniti FX45? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
