What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 1989 Toyota Van

Your Van’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 one of the most complex systems in your Van and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: axles, wheels, driveshafts, differentials, and joints. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1989 Toyota Van, 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.

Toyota Van Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are quite different, so you don't want to go to just anyone for drivetrain repair. You want to go to Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 1989 Toyota Van drivetrain components including the CV joints, CV axles, and driveshaft. Your Van might need driveshaft repair if you notice clunks when shifting, vibration as your vehicle accelerates, resistance when turning, or heavy vibrations in your floorboards. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." Your driving style and climate can have a lot to do with how the drivetrain system ages. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Toyota Van.

Is normal to wonder whether or not 1989 Toyota Van drivetrain repair is expensive. Minor differential repairs, like seal or gasket replacement, can fall in the more affordable category. Major repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, require more labor and can therefore be more expensive.
