What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1999 Infiniti Q45

Your Q45’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Q45’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1999 Infiniti Q45, 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 Infiniti's recommendations.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 1999 Infiniti Q45 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Q45 might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life."
