All About 1989 Peugeot 505 Drivetrain Service

Your 505’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the 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: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Peugeot 505, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Peugeot's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
