Driveline System
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The driveline system consists of the following components:
- Center support bearing
- Driveshaft assembly
- Front halfshafts
- Rear halfshafts
- ATC /rear axle
FWD vehicles, the transaxle transmits power from the engine to the halfshafts.
AWD vehicles, power is transmitted from the engine through the transaxle to the PTU . The PTU transfers engine power from the transaxle to the front halfshafts, and through the driveshafts to the ATC /rear axle and halfshafts. REFER to TRANSFER CASE - POWER TRANSFER UNIT .
The engine angle is built into the engine mounts. If the engine angle is out of specification, the engine mounts must be inspected for damage.
