All About 1987 Porsche 924 Drivetrain Service

Your 924 drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Porsche, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your 924 and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1987 Porsche 924, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Porsche's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Porsche 924 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 come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1987 Porsche 924 drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your 924 might need driveshaft repair if you notice resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, 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 Porsche 924.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1987 Porsche 924 drivetrain repair is expensive. Some smaller differential fixes, like seal or gasket replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
