Axles help transmit power from the differential to the wheels. Your axle housing, on the other hand, helps support suspension components, which is precisely why you need to ensure that the axles and bearings of your truck are in tip-top condition. And for that, you can count on American Diesel Repairs, located in Phoenix, AZ!

Understanding Axle Bearings

The bearings of your truck are designed to support and guide the rotating components. For this movement to be smooth, bearings are placed against a metal race and must always be heavily greased so that there is no friction during said movement. The bearing itself comprises two elements, a steel carrier, and an outer casing. The steel carrier is a cylindrical shape that rotates around the shaft, whereas the outer casing simply acts as an element meant only to protect the internally rotating elements.

Symptoms of Blown Bearings in Heavy-Duty Trucks

Grinding Sounds from the Rear or Front

If you hear loud metallic grinding sounds emanating from the rear or the front of your truck, it could indicate that the bearings are failing and need repair. You may be able to pinpoint the sounds coming from the bearings if they change with wheel speed. This usually happens when there is more friction than normal due to wear and tear over time.
‍

Wheel Wobble and Vibration

In a heavy-duty truck, if you can feel your wheel wobble and vibrate, it could indicate extreme mechanical damage in the bearing and would require expert attention. If you notice this symptom, we highly recommend bringing your truck in for service at American Diesel Repairs right away!
