Bushings, Bearings & Joints Repair
Small parts like bearings, bushings, and steering joints don't get much attention until they fail. Then they can cause a wheel-end fire, a loose steering wheel, or a sudden loss of control. I-55 Truck & Trailer Repair handles truck wheel bearing repair along with bushing and joint replacement at our shop on I-55 in Crawfordsville AR. We help drivers and fleets across Memphis & West Memphis catch worn components early and keep every wheel turning safely.
Why Choose Us
Small Parts, Big Safety Stakes
A failing wheel bearing or worn kingpin can go from a minor noise to a major safety hazard in a short time. Our ASE certified mechanics check for play, heat, noise, and leaks to find worn parts before they fail. Each bearing is installed and adjusted to the correct specification, because improper adjustment is a leading cause of wheel-end problems. With 25 years in heavy-duty repair, we know these components need to be done right the first time.
What We Offer
Keeping Your Wheel Ends and Steering Tight and Reliable
Bearings, bushings, and joints all wear with miles, load, and road conditions. We inspect, repair, and replace these parts on trucks and trailers to restore safe, precise handling. Here's what our service includes:
Wheel Bearing Replacement: Worn bearings can cause grinding, heat, and wheel wobble. We replace bearings and races and set proper end play for safe operation.
Hub Seal Replacement: A leaking hub seal lets lubricant escape and dirt get into the bearing. We replace seals to protect your bearings and prevent wheel-end failures.
Wheel-End Lubrication Service: Bearings depend on clean oil or grease to stay cool and last long. We check lubricant levels and condition and refill or replace as needed.
Kingpin Replacement: Worn kingpins and bushings cause loose steering and uneven front tire wear. We replace kingpin sets to restore tight, accurate steering.
Tie Rod End and Drag Link Repair: Loose steering linkage makes the truck wander and harder to control. We replace worn tie rod ends and drag links to tighten up your steering.
Suspension and Spring Bushing Replacement: Cracked or worn bushings let suspension parts shift and clunk. We press in new bushings to reduce noise and restore stability.
Ball Joint Replacement: Many medium-duty trucks use ball joints in the front suspension. We replace worn joints to prevent steering play and uneven tire wear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a bad wheel bearing on a truck?
Watch for grinding or humming noises, excessive heat at the hub, wheel wobble, and oil or grease leaking from the hub. A bearing that fails completely can cause the wheel to separate or catch fire.
How do I know if my kingpins are worn?
Loose or wandering steering, uneven front tire wear, and noticeable play when the wheel is rocked are common signs. We measure kingpin play to confirm whether replacement is needed.
Why is proper wheel bearing adjustment important?
Bearings that are too tight can overheat, while bearings that are too loose can wobble and wear quickly. Correct adjustment helps the bearing last longer and keeps the wheel end safe.
What causes bushings to wear out?
Heavy loads, rough roads, age, and exposure to heat and chemicals all break down rubber and metal bushings over time. Regular inspections help catch worn bushings before they cause damage.
