If you want a vehicle that drives strong and lasts the long-haul, the main operating components need to be taken care of.

The health of your drivetrain impacts every area of the car’s drivability. This system requires regular maintenance to stay in working condition. Unfortunately, Missouri drivers and mechanics often overlook the drivetrain system. To help you take care of your car, here are the warning signs of drivetrain trouble.

Symptoms of drivetrain problems

There are a few symptoms to indicate a struggling drivetrain.

The signs of a damaged drivetrain include:

• Vibrations or shudders
• Irregular sounds
• Any noises from the rear of the vehicle
• Turning issues
• Fluid leakage
• Malfunction indicator lights are on

Too many Missouri drivers believe this system lasts forever, or that the rear axle never needs servicing. Because of this misconception, the drivetrain is one of the most overlooked parts of the car.

Unfortunately, many owners neglect drivetrain damage until it’s too late. With regularly scheduled maintenance service, you can catch minor problems before they become expensive repairs or replacements.
