Maintain your vehicle power by maintaining your drivetrain. Firestone Complete Auto Care technicians are equipped to fix 1988 Oldsmobile 98 drivetrain systems. Schedule your appointment.
The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your 98's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Oldsmobile, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your 98’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 1988 Oldsmobile 98 to maintain its performance power. Follow Oldsmobile's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
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 fix many 1988 Oldsmobile 98 drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your 98 might need driveshaft repair if you notice vibration as your vehicle accelerates, clunks when shifting, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, or resistance when turning. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system’s parts and pieces don’t have a set expiration date. 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 Oldsmobile 98 drives.
You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1988 Oldsmobile 98? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
