What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Scion xD

Your xD drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Scion, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. Care for your 2011 Scion xD to maintain its performance power. You can minimize repairs by following Scion's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
