What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1999 Mercury Villager

Your Villager’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercury, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1999 Mercury Villager to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercury's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

Mercury Villager Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can take care of most 1999 Mercury Villager drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Villager might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates.

A lot depends on your driving style and climate. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Mercury Villager.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1999 Mercury Villager? Again, it depends!
