Drivetrain
The Drivetrain in a vehicle includes all the components that transfer power from the engine to the wheels, crucial for the vehicle's motion. This system encompasses the transmission, driveshaft, axles, and differential. In some vehicles, it also includes components of the all-wheel or four-wheel drive systems.
Each part of the drivetrain plays a vital role in handling the power and torque generated by the engine, ensuring it's efficiently transmitted to the wheels, whether for acceleration, climbing, or navigating different terrains.
Proper maintenance of the drivetrain is essential for the smooth and efficient operation of the vehicle.

Regular maintenance, such as checking and replacing worn CV joint boots, inspecting axle seals, and maintaining proper lubrication, can help prolong the lifespan of these components and prevent premature failure.
CV joint and axle damage can result from various factors, including worn-out rubber boots, lack of lubrication, driving on rough terrain, and sudden impacts. Regular inspections and maintenance can help prevent premature wear and damage.
We offer both individual CV joint and axle replacement, as well as complete assembly replacement, based on the condition of the components and the manufacturer's recommendations.
Driving with a damaged CV joint or axle is not recommended as it can lead to further damage to the drivetrain and pose safety risks. We advise seeking repairs as soon as possible to avoid more extensive and costly damage.
