Can Lincoln drivetrain maintenance help me save money?

What are the symptoms of a damaged Lincoln drivetrain system?

Hear noises toward the back of your Lincoln Navigator? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.

When should I come in for Lincoln Navigator differential service?

We recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine. Your vehicle cannot function without a differential. Differential service frequency varies from car to car.

Why is my Navigator malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your Navigator’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Is it possible to reset the Navigator malfunction warning light on my own?

Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Navigator serious?

A drivetrain malfunction in your Navigator should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Navigator?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Navigator’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Navigator forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2004 Lincoln Navigator Drivetrain Service

Your Navigator drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Navigator’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2004 Lincoln Navigator, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Lincoln's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Lincoln Navigator Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2004 Lincoln Navigator drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Lincoln Navigator may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. 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. Your best bet is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice a problem with how your Lincoln Navigator drives.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2004 Lincoln Navigator? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
