What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2008 Toyota Solara

Your Solara’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles. It’s one of your Solara’s most complex systems and includes everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2008 Toyota Solara, you help maintain your vehicle's power. Follow Toyota's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.
