All About 2002 Lincoln LS Drivetrain Service

Your LS drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Lincoln, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your LS’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2002 Lincoln LS, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Lincoln's recommendations.

Lincoln LS 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 2002 Lincoln LS drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Lincoln 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. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. 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 Lincoln LS doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2002 Lincoln LS drivetrain? Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable. But bigger repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.

Questions About 2002 Lincoln LS

When you have drivetrain problems, you have driving problems. Check out our top 2002 Lincoln LS drivetrain Q&A below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care with any drivetrain concerns.

  • Can Lincoln service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are signs my Lincoln drivetrain is damaged? Noises toward the back of your Lincoln LS, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.
  • When should I come in for Lincoln LS differential service? Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally 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.
  • Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my LS? Engine problems, transmission problems, faulty sensors, electrical issues, misfire issues, and connector problems could all cause your LS’s malfunction warning light, or better known as the check engine light, to illuminate.
  • Is it possible to reset the LS malfunction warning light on my own? While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your LS's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your LS.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my LS serious? If you experience a drivetrain malfunction in your LS, it is important to have it inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible to identify the underlying cause and perform the necessary repairs. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can be dangerous and cause further damage to your car.
  • Is my LS’s transmission part of the drivetrain? The transmission is a crucial part of your drivetrain system. The drivetrain in your LS 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.
