Your Grand Wagoneer’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the 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. Care for your 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Jeep's recommendations.
