Axle Repair for Trucks and Trailers
Your axles carry the full weight of your truck and cargo while delivering power to the road. A whining differential, a leaking axle seal, or a clunk when you take off can signal wear that will only get worse under heavy loads. I-55 Truck & Trailer Repair provides truck axle repair at our shop on I-55 in Crawfordsville AR, keeping drive axles, steer axles, and trailer axles in top shape for drivers and fleets across Memphis & West Memphis. We fix axle problems early, before they lead to a breakdown or a much larger repair bill.
Why Choose Us
Heavy-Duty Axle Work Done With Care
Axle and differential repairs require precise setup, and small mistakes can lead to noise, heat, and early gear failure. Our ASE certified mechanics inspect gears, bearings, seals, and housings to understand exactly what's worn and why. We set gear patterns and bearing preload carefully so repairs last under the demands of heavy freight. With 25 years of experience, we handle everything from a simple seal replacement to a complete differential rebuild.
What We Offer
Complete Service for Drive, Steer, and Trailer Axles
Each axle on your rig faces different loads and stresses, so we tailor our inspection and repair to the job it performs. Whether it's a noisy differential or a bent trailer axle, we have the experience to get it right. Here's what our axle repair service covers:
Differential Repair and Rebuild: Worn gears and bearings in the differential cause whining, grinding, and loss of power delivery. We repair or rebuild differentials to restore quiet, reliable operation.
Ring and Pinion Replacement: Damaged ring and pinion gears can fail suddenly under load. We replace gear sets and set them up correctly for long service life.
Axle Shaft Replacement: Broken or twisted axle shafts can leave your truck unable to move. We replace damaged shafts and inspect related parts for additional damage.
Axle Seal Replacement: Leaking seals let gear oil escape and can contaminate your brakes. We replace seals to stop leaks and protect nearby components.
Inter-Axle Differential Service: Tandem drive trucks rely on the inter-axle differential to split power between axles. We repair and service this unit to prevent wear and driveline problems.
Differential Lock Repair: A differential lock that won't engage or release can leave you stuck or cause damage. We diagnose and repair air-operated lockers and their controls.
Gear Oil Service: Clean, correct gear oil is critical for axle life. We drain, inspect, and refill axle housings with the proper lubricant.
Trailer Axle Repair: Bent, damaged, or misaligned trailer axles cause uneven tire wear and handling problems. We repair trailer axles and related components to keep your load tracking straight.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a failing differential?
Whining or howling noises that change with speed, clunking when accelerating or decelerating, and gear oil leaks are common signs. Metal particles in the gear oil can also point to internal wear.
How often should truck axle gear oil be changed?
It depends on the axle manufacturer, the type of lubricant, and how the truck is used. Following recommended service intervals helps prevent premature gear and bearing wear.
Can a leaking axle seal cause brake problems?
Yes. Gear oil leaking from an axle seal can soak into brake linings and reduce braking performance. Leaking seals should be repaired quickly.
What causes a trailer axle to become misaligned?
Hitting curbs, potholes, or docks, as well as worn suspension parts, can knock a trailer axle out of alignment. This often shows up as uneven tire wear or the trailer pulling to one side.
Do you offer truck repair for all types of axles?
Yes. We repair drive axles, steer axles, tandem axles, and trailer axles on commercial trucks and trailers.
