Four-wheel drive (4WD), also known as 4x4, is a drivetrain system that allows power to be delivered to all four wheels of a vehicle simultaneously. It is designed for improved traction and control on rough terrain or low-traction surfaces such as snow, mud, and off-road conditions. Vehicles equipped with 4WD, like SUVs and trucks, have both a front and rear axle that connect to the drivetrain. This design enables all four wheels to receive power and rotate at the same speed.

Why Does Your Vehicle Need A 4 X 4 Service?

Regular 4 x 4 maintenance is crucial for the longevity and proper function of your vehicle. Bay Hundred Automotive’s service advisors recommend differential and 4x4 service based on the vehicle manufacturers recommended intervals, typically determined by time and/or milage.
