The Purpose of a Transfer Case

Drivers in Orchard Park, NY that own a 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicle may be familiar with a transfer case. This drivetrain component is very important to vehicles that use both axles. West Herr Dodge Orchard Park offers the following information to help you learn more about a transfer case.

All-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive vehicles need to have power transferred to both axles. All four wheels on a 4X4 need to be powered, and a transfer case allows that to happen. It is the part that splits and diverts power from the engine to the front and rear axles. This allows all the wheels to turn.

A transfer case is a part of the vehicle's drivetrain system. This system is one of the more complex on a vehicle. Any problems that you may encounter with the transfer case will need to be addressed by a service professional.
