Front end wear (feel and safety)

IFS platforms often need front end refresh as mileage accumulates.

Cooling system maintenance

Cooling refresh is one of the best preventative services you can do.

  • Radiator, hoses, thermostat, caps
  • Check for leaks and pressure-test if needed
  • Replace questionable components before overheating happens

Brakes and stopping feel

A full brake refresh can transform pedal feel.

  • Pads/rotors, caliper condition
  • Brake hoses if aged/cracked
  • Fluid flush

Drivetrain and fluids

Long life depends on clean fluids and catching leaks early.

  • Differential, transfer case, and transmission service intervals
  • Address seepage/leaks before they become messy or low-fluid problems
  • Inspect driveline u-joints and mounts
