What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1997 Toyota Avalon

Your Avalon’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It runs the full length of your Toyota, from the axles to the transmission. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1997 Toyota Avalon, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Toyota's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.
