Once a spindle is identified as problematic, we always recommend replacing it with one of our spindles for a durable, long-lasting solution. While repairs are possible in rare cases, they are often short-term fixes that push the problem into the near future and can also negatively affect bearings and other components.

Yes, our spindles are designed to replace commercial truck and trailer spindles on OEM axles. Most OEM axles come with permanently integrated spindles that are not designed for easy removal or replacement. Our replacement spindles redefine the repair process, allowing truck and trailer owners to avoid the significant cost of replacing an entire axle just to fix a problematic spindle.

A spindle on a truck or trailer is a crucial part of the axle assembly that connects the wheel and hub to the vehicle. Working with the bearings and other components, it enables the wheels to rotate smoothly while supporting the vehicle’s weight.

A parallel spindle has a uniform cylindrical shape, maintaining the same diameter throughout, and is typically used with ball or cylindrical roller bearings. This design is best suited for lighter loads, such as utility trailers and car haulers.

A tapered spindle, on the other hand, has a conical shape, wider at the base and narrowing towards the end. This design helps distribute weight more evenly, reducing stress on the axle and bearings, making it ideal for heavy load trailers like flatbeds and tankers.

When inspecting your truck for signs of trouble, listen for unusual noises like whirring, clicking, or clunking, particularly while turning. Unusual vibrations can also be an indicator as well as visual signs like bearing grease leaking from the boot. A quick visual inspection of the inner side of the wheel’s rim will help identify any issues. If you’re unsure about the condition of your spindles, contact our support team at 716-336-4734 or toll free at 844-AXLE-SPINDLE.
