When should I come in for Jeep Cherokee differential service?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable.

All About 2000 Jeep Cherokee Drivetrain Service

Your Cherokee’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Jeep, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Cherokee and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2000 Jeep Cherokee, 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 Jeep's recommendations.

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 go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2000 Jeep Cherokee drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Jeep could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Jeep Cherokee doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2000 Jeep Cherokee? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
