1988 Plymouth Sundance Drivetrain Service

Your Sundance drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your Sundance and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1988 Plymouth Sundance, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Plymouth's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

What Are Plymouth Sundance 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 fix many 1988 Plymouth Sundance drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Sundance might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. 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. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Plymouth Sundance.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 1988 Plymouth Sundance? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.
