Four-wheel drive is one of those systems people don't use every day, which is exactly why problems often show up at the worst time: the first snow, a muddy field, or a boat ramp. We diagnose and repair 4WD systems on pickups, SUVs and Jeeps, and we take care of lifted trucks, off-road builds and utility side-by-sides.

Signs your 4x4 needs attention

  • 4WD won't engage or disengage, or the indicator light flashes
  • Grinding or clunking from the transfer case
  • Front hubs that won't lock or unlock
  • Binding or hopping in tight turns on pavement
  • Fluid leaks from the transfer case or front differential
  • Vibration or wandering after a lift or larger tires were installed

What we do

  • Transfer case service, repair and replacement
  • Manual and automatic locking hubs, and vacuum or electronic hub actuators
  • Front axle U-joints, CV axles and front differential service (see axles and drivetrain)
  • 4WD switches, shift motors, encoders and wiring
  • Lifted-truck drivability: steering geometry, track bars, steering stabilizers, driveshaft angles and vibration
  • Maintenance and repair for UTVs and side-by-sides (call first so we can confirm your model)

Jeeps, pickups and diesels

Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators, and heavy-duty pickups with solid front axles, share many of the same front-end wear issues, including the infamous death wobble. See steering and suspension. For diesel 4x4s we handle the engine side too; see diesel repair. We work on gas and diesel 4x4s.
