Axle Repair and Rebuilding process

It depends on the extent of the damage to an axle whether to repair it or rebuild it. If an axle is severely damaged, it will need to be rebuilt, but if it is moderately damaged, it can be repaired. Repaired axles are also less expensive. If an axle is rebuilt, more parts will be replaced.

Both rebuilding and repairing axles begin with the components on the axles being removed and cleaned. During a repair, the ring and pinion remain in place, but it is replaced during an axle rebuild. The axle is then restored to its factory specifications using our lathe. We will then inspect and replace any necessary bearings. All damaged spindle ends are then replaced with our in-house spindle ends. Axles are then assembled, filled with fluids and painted.

Timkenā€™s high-quality bearing and seal replacements are used during axle rebuilds. Seals on axle carriers are also replaced. We replace the axle shaft with a refurbished replacement that has also been restored to factory specifications. If needed, we can also use new axle shafts. If the rotor is bolted behind the hub, it is then turned or replaced. In this way, the axle pads can be properly applied.

Do you think your axle is damaged?

While driving, do you hear any noises? Your axle might be damaged. A variety of factors can contribute to this. From hitting a curb to lugging a heavy load over a bumpy road. Axles can be damaged in many ways. If you have axle damage, you can use the following indicators:

  • Fluid leaks – Damage to an axle can often cause cracks in the axle housing. A leak will result from those cracks and bends. A leaky axle may not have enough lubrication to function properly.
  • Loud noises – A bent axle can cause the gears to be out of alignment. A noticeable sound is made by the gears grinding or hitting each other as the axle rotates.
  • Vibrations – You will feel the axle vibrating through the steering wheel. A damaged axle will cause the steering wheel to vibrate immediately, intensifying as you turn the wheel.
