Axle Repair and Service in Denton and Krum, TX
Have you ever noticed your car vibrate strangely while driving or heard a clunking sound coming from underneath? These could be signs of trouble with your axles, the crucial components that connect your wheels to your vehicle's drivetrain. At Barebones Automotive in Denton and Krum, TX, we specialize in axle service and repair for all types of vehicles, including diesel models.
An axle is a solid metal bar that rotates along with the wheels. There are typically two axles in a car:
- Drive Axle: This axle receives power from the differential and transmits it to the wheels, propelling the vehicle forward. In rear-wheel drive vehicles, the rear axle is the drive axle. In front-wheel drive vehicles, the front axle is the drive axle. In four-wheel drive vehicles, both the front and rear axles can be driven axles.
- Dead Axle: This axle doesn't receive power from the differential but still supports the vehicle's weight and allows the wheels to turn
Axle Services Offered at Barebones Automotive
Here are some of the axle services we offer at our Denton, TX, and Krum, TX, locations:
Axle Inspection
This comprehensive inspection involves checking the axles for wear and tear, damage, leaks, and misalignment.
CV Axle Replacement (for front-wheel drive vehicles)
CV axles are a type of axle that uses constant velocity joints to allow the wheels to turn freely. We can replace worn or damaged CV axles.
Axle Shaft Repair (for rear-wheel drive vehicles)
Axle shafts can sometimes become bent due to road hazards or wear and tear. Our technicians can assess the damage and determine if the axle shaft can be repaired or needs replacement.
Differential Service
The differential is a gear assembly located within the axle that allows the wheels on the same axle to rotate at different speeds, which is crucial when cornering. We offer differential fluid changes and repairs as needed.
There isn't a specific mileage interval for axle service. However, our experts recommend having your axles inspected during routine maintenance checks or if you notice any of the warning signs, such as vibrations, clunking sounds, and uneven tire treads.
