Comprehensive Brake Inspection and Repair
Brake problems are one of the leading causes of out-of-service orders during roadside inspections, and many of them could have been caught earlier. A thorough truck brake inspection shows you exactly where your braking system stands before an inspector or an emergency stop does. I-55 Truck & Trailer Repair performs complete brake inspections and repairs for trucks and trailers at our shop on I-55 in Crawfordsville AR. We help drivers and fleets across Memphis & West Memphis stay safe, compliant, and confident on every haul.

You'll know which items need attention now and which can wait, so you can plan repairs with confidence.

What We Offer
Inspections That Catch Problems Before Inspectors Do
Our brake inspection covers both air and hydraulic systems on trucks and trailers. If we find a problem, we can handle the repair right away so you don't need a second visit. Here's what our brake inspection includes:
Visual Brake Component Check: We look for cracked drums, broken springs, loose hardware, and leaking seals at each wheel. Catching these early prevents bigger failures on the road.
Lining and Drum Measurement: We measure brake lining thickness and drum condition against safety limits. This shows how much life your brakes have left.
Pushrod Stroke Check: We measure pushrod travel at each brake chamber to confirm proper adjustment. Out-of-adjustment brakes are one of the most common inspection violations.
Air System Leak Test: We test air pressure build-up and leak-down rates to make sure the system holds pressure. Leaks are located and noted for repair.
ABS Function Check: We confirm the ABS warning lamp works correctly and check for stored fault codes. This helps you avoid violations and keeps your anti-lock system ready.
Hydraulic Brake Inspection: For trucks with hydraulic brakes, we check fluid condition, lines, calipers, and pads. Every component is inspected for leaks and wear.
Trailer Brake Inspection: Trailer brakes get the same detailed inspection as your truck. We check linings, chambers, air lines, and adjustment on every axle.
Clear Repair Recommendations: After the inspection, we explain what we found and what needs attention. You get straightforward advice without pressure to buy repairs you don't need.
Frequently Asked Questions
