What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2011 Subaru Tribeca

Your Tribeca’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Subaru, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2011 Subaru Tribeca, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Subaru's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
