Rebuilds and Repairs for Axles

For an axle repair or rebuild to be chosen, the main factor is how damaged the axle is. Should the axle be severely damaged, the axle will need to be rebuilt. A lesser amount of damage, from moderate damage down, the axle can be repaired instead. Repairing an axle has the advantage of being less costly but it also replaces fewer parts.

Whether you are repairing or rebuilding an axle, both begin with removing and cleaning the axle parts. The ring and pinion are replaced during an axle rebuild. Next, we will use our lathe to restore the axle back to factory specifications. Then we inspect the axle components. These include the axle bearings, seals, and also other components. We will replace damaged axles with our own built in-house spindle ends. Then the axle will be painted, assembled and filled with fluids.

We use Timken bearings and seals in our axle rebuilds. Their seals are also used to replace seals on the axle carriers. We will then replace the axle shafts with refurbished replacements. These axle shafts have been thoroughly inspected and are restored to factory specifications. On occasion, we may use a new axle shaft. Should the rotor be bolted behind the hub, then it will be rotated or replaced. This is so that brake pads are applied correctly.

What to look out for if you suspect a damaged axle?

Axles may be damaged from a multitude of sources. This includes anything from hitting a curb or driving over a very bumpy road while carrying a heavy load. If your axle is damaged, it may exhibit some of these symptoms:

• Noise – Gears can become out of alignment when there is an axle bend. Gears that grind together or collide will produce a noticeable noise.
• Leaks – Any damage to an axle can cause cracks that allow fluids to leak from the housing. Lubricant may not be enough on an axle that is leaking fluid.
• Vibrations – You will feel a very noticeable vibration while driving. As you turn the steering wheel, you will feel the steering wheel vibrate immediately.
