Axles and Drive Train

The drive train of your vehicle is the combined components that transmit power from the engine to the wheels. Components in this group include axels, half-shafts, propeller shafts, yokes, universal joints, constant velocity, or CV, joints, hubs, bearings, and transfer cases. Three common types of drive trains are; front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, and all-wheel-drive, or four-wheel-drive. Most sedans and mini-vans are designed as front wheel drive. Most SUVs and light trucks are rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive. Indications of drive train problems are vibrations that intensify with the speed of the vehicle and any unusual noise such as bumps, bangs, or clicks.

Uptown Auto Service technicians are qualified to repair all of types of drive trains, including front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive, and four-wheel-drive vehicles.
