Comprehensive 4x4 and All-Wheel Drive Vehicle Services

When it comes to maintaining your standard 4-wheel drive (4x4) and all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles, the skilled technicians at JN Automotive Inc. possess years of experience and specialized knowledge.

AWD systems operate as full-time 4-wheel-drive setups, where all four wheels receive torque from the engine simultaneously. These intricate systems require unique attention, and we're here to cater to their distinct needs. Below are some of the services we offer:

Alignment
Proper wheel alignment is crucial for the optimal performance of your vehicle. Our experts adjust the angles of your wheels according to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring your vehicle's suspension and steering operate correctly and tire wear is minimized.

Differentials
The differential is a key component in your vehicle, allowing wheels to rotate at different speeds, especially important when turning. Regular maintenance of the differential is essential for smooth operation, and our services ensure it performs effectively under all driving conditions.

Driveline
The driveline connects the engine to the axles and is vital for transferring power to the wheels. Any issues here can significantly impact vehicle mobility. Our comprehensive inspections and maintenance services ensure your driveline functions reliably, preventing disruptions in power transmission.

Hubs, Seals, Studs, & Nuts
We maintain and replace wheel hubs to ensure your vehicle's wheels are securely attached and operate smoothly. Regular checks and replacements of seals protect bearings from contaminants and prevent lubricant leaks. Additionally, we inspect and replace any damaged studs and nuts to maintain the structural integrity of your vehicle's wheels.

Transfer Cases
Essential for 4x4 and AWD vehicles, transfer cases distribute power from the transmission to the front and rear axles. Whether your vehicle uses gears or a chain-driven mechanism, our services ensure efficient power transfer and maintain the reliability of your vehicle's four-wheel-drive capabilities.

Transmissions
Transmission health is critical for vehicle safety and efficiency. Our transmission services include preventative maintenance like fluid changes and more extensive repairs. We address common issues such as difficult shifting, slipping, and leaks to maintain your transmission in optimal condition.

Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are crucial for smooth wheel operation and are integrated into the vehicle's wheel assembly. They reduce friction and allow free rotation of the wheels, crucial for safe driving. Our services include regular checks and replacement of worn bearings to prevent noise, vibrations, and potential wheel lockup.

4x4 FAQs

Is there a difference between four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive?

Both all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) engage all four wheels, but with a twist. AWD uses three differentials (front, rear, and center) for continuous power distribution, making it ideal for everyday driving with improved traction. 4WD typically uses two differentials and can be switched between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive modes, offering more control for off-road adventures.

Are 4x4 vehicles meant just for off-road driving?

While off-roading is their specialty, 4x4s aren't just for outdoor enthusiasts. Their enhanced grip and stability tackle slippery city streets and uneven landscapes with ease, offering peace of mind for families, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone who values dependable performance in diverse conditions.

Is running a four-wheel drive expensive?

Four-wheel drive fuel economy and maintenance might seem daunting, but it's a nuanced picture. Frequent off-road adventures and towing will impact costs differently than city commutes. Analyze your driving habits and needs before comparing 4x4 and 2 wheel drive costs.
