Jeep 4×4 System Service: Keep Your Jeep Trail-Ready

Rotate and Align Your Tires

When off-roading, tires take knocks and bumps from all kinds of odd angles. Your Jeep’s suspension is designed to absorb this pressure with ease. Yet still, the more you drive over rough terrain, the more likely your tires are to get pushed gradually out of alignment and also become a little uneven. This is easy to remedy with routine tire rotations and alignments two or more times a year. 

Maintain Your Transfer Case

As a 4×4 vehicle, your Jeep has a transfer case, which splits the transmission’s power between the front and rear axles. Once a year, you’ll need to have your transfer case inspected for signs of wear and tear. Also, check the transfer case fluid frequently, along with all other essential vehicle fluids.  

Check Your Differential Fluid 

The differentials have extra work to do in a 4×4, and also need to be looked after. It’s a good idea to have your differentials inspected at the same time as your transfer case. You’ll also need to have your differential fluid flushed on occasion.

Keep Your Motor Oil Fresh

There’s no more important fluid in the car than the motor oil, which keeps your Jeep’s powerful engine lubricated and clean. As you’re frequently driving your Jeep along unpaved trails, more dust and other contaminants will inevitably make their way into the motor oil. This means you may need to change your oil three or four times a year, rather than the usual two.

Have Your Coolant Serviced

Coolant prevents your Jeep’s engine from overheating even when powering the wheels over the most challenging obstacles. It’s therefore vital to keep your entire cooling system in tip-top shape with inspections at least once a year. And keep a close eye on the condition and level of your coolant, which will require a flush every two years or so.

Book Brake Inspections 

Your Jeep is equipped with powerful brakes that will stay in superb condition as long as you replace worn-out brake pads and rotors on time. Yearly brake inspections will ensure that you’re never surprised by a failing pad and your brake fluid is always fresh and secure inside the brake lines.
