2009 Scion xB Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your xB's engine to its wheels. It runs the full length of your Scion, from the axles to the transmission. It’s one of your xB’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Scion xB, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Scion's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

What Are Scion xB Drivetrain Repairs

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 help repair all of your 2009 Scion xB drivetrain components including the driveshaft, CV axles, and CV joints. Your Scion could be crying out for 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. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Scion xB.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2009 Scion xB? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Big repairs, like bearing or gear replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
