All About 2022 Lexus RX350 Drivetrain Service

Your RX350’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.

You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Lexus's recommendations.

When to Get Lexus RX350 Drivetrain Repairs

Your Lexus could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

How much does it cost to fix your 2022 Lexus RX350 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category.
