All About 1992 Suzuki Samurai Drivetrain Service

Your Samurai drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Suzuki, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Samurai and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1992 Suzuki Samurai, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Suzuki's recommendations.

Suzuki Samurai Drivetrain Repairs

Your Suzuki Samurai may need driveshaft attention if you feel clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
