What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1995 Suzuki Esteem

Your Esteem’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Suzuki, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1995 Suzuki Esteem, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Suzuki's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
