Drivetrain & Differential Repair in Springfield MO – Power You Can Count On.
Smooth Power. Confident Control. Built to Handle Every Mile.
Your vehicle’s drivetrain and differentials are responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels — and how that power behaves determines everything from acceleration to traction and towing capability. At Crown Auto Sales and Service in Springfield, MO, we provide professional drivetrain repair, differential service, and 4×4 system maintenance for domestic, European, and Asian vehicles.
Whether you drive RWD, FWD, AWD, or 4WD — we’ve got your gears turning right.
What’s the Drivetrain & Differential?
- Drivetrain includes all components between the engine and the wheels: transmission, driveshafts, CV joints, axles, and differentials.
- Differentials allow your wheels to rotate at different speeds during turns — essential for traction, control, and off-road stability.
Noise, vibration, or poor handling often start with hidden drivetrain or diff problems.
Symptoms of Drivetrain or Differential Problems
Whining, humming, or howling while driving- Clunking when shifting or accelerating
- Excessive vibration at higher speeds
- Fluid leaks from rear/front diff or transfer case
- One tire spins faster or drags on turns
- Poor traction on wet or uneven roads
- Rear-wheel lock-up (in severe cases)
- 4×4 or AWD system not engaging
These issues can lead to gear damage, bearing failure, or even total loss of drive power. Early repair saves major cost.
