All About 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Drivetrain Service

Your FJ Cruiser drivetrain transfers power from your engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It's one of the most complex systems in your FJ Cruiser and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. Care for your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser to maintain its performance power. Follow Toyota's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

Toyota FJ Cruiser Drivetrain Repairs

You don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are all different. You want to come see the technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Toyota could be crying out for driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. There’s no expiration date on the system’s pieces and parts. So much depends on the climate and your driving style. That’s one reason it’s a wise idea to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign your Toyota FJ Cruiser doesn’t drive like it used to.

How much does it cost to fix your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, can lean toward being more affordable.
