What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2025 Lexus NX350

Your NX350’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Lexus, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your NX350 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2025 Lexus NX350, 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.

You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 2025 Lexus NX350 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Lexus 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.
