Common Causes of Spindle Damage
Low Quality Replacement Parts
Low quality spindles are prone to cracking, bending, and premature failure under load. Always use trusted, heat-treated parts designed for your axle.
No Regular Inspections
Spindle wear often starts small and unnoticed. Without routine checks, minor issues turn into costly breakdowns.
Corrosion & Rust
Salt, moisture, and debris from the road slowly eat away at spindle surfaces. Left unchecked, rust weakens structural integrity and leads to axle failure.
No Lubrication
Dry bearings or contaminated grease create friction that grinds down the spindle shaft. Regular greasing extends bearing life and protects the spindle from internal wear.
Axle Spindle Maintenance Tips
Inspect Spindles During Service
Check for scoring, heat discoloration or irregular wear during every brake or bearing job.
Don’t Overload
Overloading your vehicle puts stress on the spindle and causes faster fatigue and failure.
Keep Bearings Lubricated
Clean high quality grease keeps spindle and bearing surfaces cool, smooth and rust free.
Don’t Over Torque Bearings
Improper torque during reassembly can distort spindle ends or damage internal threads.
