What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2018 Toyota Avalon

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Avalon's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Toyota, 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. Care for your 2018 Toyota Avalon to maintain its performance power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Toyota's recommendations.
