2004 Volvo V70 Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your V70's engine to its wheels. It spans the length of your vehicle, from the transmission to the axles.

When you tune into you 2004 Volvo V70 drivetrain, you help maintain your vehicle’s overall power. Follow Volvo's recommendations for lubricating bearings/gears and checking/changing differential fluids to minimize repairs over time.

When to Get Volvo V70 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.

Your Volvo 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.
