What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1984 Jeep Cherokee

Your Cherokee drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Jeep, 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 1984 Jeep Cherokee, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Jeep's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Jeep Cherokee 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 help repair all of your 1984 Jeep Cherokee drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Jeep could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Jeep Cherokee.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1984 Jeep Cherokee? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
