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 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.
