All About 2007 Lexus LS460 Drivetrain Service

Your LS460 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Lexus, 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. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2007 Lexus LS460, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Lexus's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Lexus LS460 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 fix many 2007 Lexus LS460 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Lexus LS460 may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. 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 Lexus LS460 doesn’t drive like it used to.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2007 Lexus LS460? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.

Questions About 2007 Lexus LS460

Drivetrain problems mean driving problems. Get answers to common drivetrain questions and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for drivetrain help.

  • Can Lexus service save me money? Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.
  • What are signs my Lexus drivetrain is damaged? Hear noises toward the back of your Lexus LS460? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for Lexus LS460 differential service? Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • What causes a LS460’s malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate? A multitude of problems can activate your LS460’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • Is it possible to reset the LS460 malfunction warning light on my own? While it’s sometimes possible to clear a malfunction warning light at home, it’s never recommended. If your LS460’s check engine light comes on, it’s usually because there is a problem in one of the vehicle’s systems. You should find and address the underlying issue to help keep your vehicle in great shape. By simply resetting the check engine light, you may temporarily get rid of the light, but the underlying problem is still there. It will only be a matter of time before the light comes back.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my LS460 serious? A drivetrain malfunction in your LS460 should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.
  • Is my LS460’s transmission part of the drivetrain? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your LS460 is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the wheels to move the vehicle forward. This system consists of several components, including the transmission, driveshaft, differential, and axles.
