4x4 Maintenance & Repair

Four-wheel drive cars function on the principal that all wheels, with controlled power, can be used to drive a car on rough roads and land. The transmission on these cars is similar to two-wheel drives, but also has certain other components that assist in transferring the power from the engine equally to all

the wheels. The transmission on such four-wheel drive cars require special attention and routine maintenance. Red’s garage has a wide range of transmission and other auto repair services for our Port Chester area car owners.

The transmission system controls the amount of power required for the wheels at any given speed. As in a 4X4 car, the transmission is required to provide optimum power to all four wheels, it is important that the system is always in a good condition. A regular service schedule can benefit the system as well as ensure its longevity. For a 4X4 car transmission maintenance and repair, Red’s Garage provides services like transmission flush or fluid change, filter replacement, and other fine-tuning.

The transfer case is an assisting component of a transmission system of a 4X4 wheel drive car. It is connected to both front and rear axles, and the transmission via drive shafts. The power from the transmission is transferred to the transfer case, which then splits the power and sends it across to both axles, thereby allowing the car to be driven on all four wheels.

If you have a four-wheel drive car, you must know that all the four wheels can have different speed based on the type of road and during turns. This is made possible by the differential. It is located between the two axles and makes sure that all the wheels have access to torque from the axle and improve performance of the car on rough roads. Differential must be in good condition at all times to support the power being transferred to the wheels. 

The driveline connects the engine and transmission to the wheels. It is the part of the powertrain excluding the engine. The driveline transmits the energy from the engine and transmission to the wheels. Any failure in the driveline could hamper moving of the wheels, and cause trouble.

Our 4X4 transmission system maintenance includes checking the wheel alignment, the condition of the bearings and seals, and all wheel mount components. Making sure that the suspension and steering are functioning as per manufacturer’s specification helps extend the life of your car, and provides you with a safe and comfortable ride.

Wheel bearings allow for free spinning of the wheels. Over time, these bearings can wear out and cause vibrations and noise while driving. Seals keep contamination out of the bearings, and also keep the lubricant inside. If a seal is torn or worn out, the chances of heat, dirt, and dust causing friction in wheel bearing rises. If left unchecked, problems with wheel bearings or seals can cause major damage.
