All About 2005 Lincoln LS Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your LS's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your LS and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2005 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.
