Our Process
Our Process starts with a phone call from the repair shop or truck owner in need of a new spindle.
A UA certified spindle technician will arrive on location in their fully equipped mobile service vehicle. The technician will begin by removing the spindle. Once the damaged spindle is removed, the axle tube will be machined. Threads will be integrated into the axle tube.
At this point, the axle is transformed with an end that can be serviced over and over!
A new spindle is threaded into place and torqued down. Then, a final weld is made. The initial installation takes only three hours to complete from start to finish.
If the spindle is ever in need of replacement again it can be easily removed. Our Spindle Specialist will cut the weld and remove the old spindle. Then, a new spindle can be threaded back into place. This replacement process is completed in under two hours .

Cut
The majority of roadside breakdowns are tire related. Properly identifying bad spindles can help prevent you from becoming part of this statistic. Red flags to watch out for include: metal shavings in hub oil, wheel seal leaking, or hub hot to the touch after driving distances. Running a truck on bad bearings increases the chance of damaging the spindle. Once damage has occurred options are limited. Either entire axle will need replaced or spindle replacement. United Axle has revolutionized the replacement spindles and process.
The first step in the replacement process is the remove the old damaged spindle. We can then smooth and clean up the axle tube in preparation for the new threaded spindle.
