How does front wheel drive work?
Which wheels are driving your vehicle defines the kind of drive your vehicle has: Though currently in market there are all wheel drive, rear wheel drie and front wheel drive available with each having its share of advantages and disadvantages. Front wheel dive came into existence after the fuel crises of the 1970s. Manufacturers scrambled to save weight to save fuel, and they adopted assorted variations of the front-engine/front-drive layout. With all of the drivetrain components under the hood, cars became smaller and lighter and still had adequate interior room. Plus, with the engine over the drivewheels, traction improved too. Today, the majority of family cars are front-drive. Though it looses brownie it comes to straight line accelration but performance wise, considering the normal usage it definitely scores.
What is the difference between a 1989 2.5L engine block and a 1994 2.5L engine block?
It all depends on what they came out of. It is my understanding that there were four different versions of the 2.5L 4 cylinder block. Front wheel drive versions put the starter on the right side of the block. (looking at the front or vibration damper end) Rear wheel drive versions put the starter on the left side of the engine, where the transaxle would be on a front wheel drive engine. The other two versions differed by the bolt holes that hold the front mounting bracket to the bottom of the block. So from the above if the 1989 block was for a front wheel drive car and the 1994 block was from a rear wheel drive vehicle the difference would be the starter location.

Rear-wheel drive are probably better for fast acceleration such as a dragster.Front wheel came about to save gas; shorten the transmission and drive shaft and you save energy. This lead to smaller engines. They are also better in icy conditions. Rear-wheel drive tends to apply more power to one side and cause the car to spin easier.Mid-engine cars tend to handle the curves better whether they are front- or rear- wheel driven.The front wheel drive was much cheaper for automakers to produce. The traction is much better on snow and ice - but there is a real nasty down side.When you combine the tremendous drive torque plus the considerable braking torque to the dynamic wheel and road vibration Reflected Back into the Steering Assembly you have a recipe for dangerous early mechanical failure and disaster.Chrysler has changed corporate ownership twice allowing them to possibly minimize the legal impact of this considerable financial liability.If you only expect to drive a car for 50K or 60K you may find front wheel drive very attractive. However you should have the front wheel drive steering components checked regularly after 60 thousand miles (with regularity) to be safe.You can do an internet search for Chrysler front wheel drive complaints and evaluate for yourself.
