What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2006 Jeep Liberty

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Liberty's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. 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 2006 Jeep Liberty to maintain its performance power. Follow Jeep's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Jeep Liberty Drivetrain Repairs

Your Liberty might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.
