What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2008 Land Rover LR2

Your LR2 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Land Rover, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your LR2’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Land Rover LR2, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Land Rover's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Land Rover LR2 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2008 Land Rover LR2 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Land Rover LR2 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It’s difficult to nail down a timeline for drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Land Rover LR2 doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2008 Land Rover LR2 drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
