What is Four Wheel Drive System?

Call (701) 277-8618 when you need Four Wheel Drive Service

Four-wheel drive systems are designed to allow all four wheels of a vehicle to spin at the same time. These systems feature a transfer case located between the front and rear axles, preventing the axles from spinning at different speeds. The transfer case facilitates the engine to give maximum torque to the axle and wheels, which helps in maintaining traction.

Different 4WD Configurations

There are different types of 4WD systems, each employing unique technologies to meet the driver's requirements. Some systems come with a locking differential, which enables both wheels on the axle to rotate together for maximum traction. Another type is the limited-slip differential, which can sense a slip in one wheel and redirect torque to the other wheel to regain traction. There are also manual and automatic hubs, which require users to engage the front wheel drive mechanism manually or automatically to activate the 4WD system.

• Consider where you drive most often and how much time your vehicle spends traversing difficult terrain. This can have a significant impact on the life of your 4WD system.
• Common symptoms indicating the need for 4WD system repairs include excessive noise when switching gears, transfer case gear leaks and failures, unusual vibrations, and a warning light on the dashboard.

If you notice any of these signs, our staff at Dave's West Fargo Tire & Service is ready to assist you with all aspects of 4WD maintenance.
