What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2008 Land Rover Range Rover

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Range Rover's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Land Rover, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2008 Land Rover Range Rover to maintain its performance power. Follow Land Rover's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Land Rover Range Rover 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 2008 Land Rover Range Rover drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Land Rover could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." 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 Range Rover doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2008 Land Rover Range Rover drivetrain? Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
