All About 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your SLK55 AMG's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Mercedes-Benz's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Drivetrain Repairs
