What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2009 Mercury Mariner

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Mariner'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 Mariner and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2009 Mercury Mariner to maintain its performance power. Follow Mercury's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
