All About 2016 Toyota Avalon Drivetrain Service

Your Avalon’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, from back to front. It’s one of your Avalon’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2016 Toyota Avalon, 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 Toyota's recommendations.

Your Avalon might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards.
