TRUCK AXLE SERVICES
WHAT CAUSES AN AXLE TO GO BAD?
An axle can go bad due to a variety of factors. Common causes include overloading the vehicle, which puts excessive stress on the axle, leading to potential bending or breaking. Wear and tear from regular use, especially under harsh driving conditions, can also degrade axle integrity. Poor road conditions, like hitting potholes or driving on uneven surfaces, can accelerate this wear.
CAN A BROKEN AXLE DAMAGE A TRANSMISSION?
Yes, a broken axle can indeed damage a transmission — it typically occurs through the differential and driveshaft. A damaged axle can cause misalignment and undue stress on the transmission system, leading to potential failures. If you suspect that a broken axle has affected your transmission, Status Truck & Trailer Repair offers comprehensive transmission and clutch repair services.

Why Regular Maintenance is Imperative
Brake malfunctions consistently emerge as a leading cause behind tractor-trailer incidents. Beyond the immediate threat to safety, these malfunctions can translate into significant legal complications, potentially culminating in hefty lawsuits.

Diving Deeper: Understanding Air Brake Systems
Air brake systems are a composite of several subsystems, each playing a vital role:
- Brake System: This system springs into action during everyday driving scenarios, applying or releasing the brakes in response to the brake pedal.
- Parking Brake System: Specifically tailored for stationary scenarios, this system governs the application and release of parking brakes.
- Emergency Brake System: A fail-safe measure, this system merges functionalities from both the service and parking brake systems. Its primary role is to stop the vehicle during unforeseen brake system failures
The Prevalence and Advantages of Air Brakes
- Unified Braking: Unlike liquid-based hydraulic brakes, air brake systems facilitate the seamless coupling of multiple vehicle units. This unique feature ensures that every coupled unit retains full brake functionality, with centralized control from the driver’s cab.
- Emergency Brake Integration: The design of air brake systems is such that they incorporate a robust emergency braking mechanism. This mechanism cleverly integrates elements from both the standard service brake and the parking brake systems. It is worth noting that CFR 49 393.43 mandates every semi-trailer to have this system, ensuring that even in the unfortunate event of a trailer detaching, the primary vehicle retains its braking ability.
Proactive Maintenance: A Proven Strategy
While the rate of wear and tear on brakes can vary significantly based on driving habits, conditions, and vehicle load, a golden rule is to align brake inspections with oil change schedules. To guarantee your vehicle’s optimal braking performance, consider scheduling a comprehensive evaluation by our seasoned professionals at Status Truck & Trailer Repair.
