Rochester Axle Repairs, Rebuilds and Modifications

Have you been in a collision? Are you in need of an axle rebuild or a repair? Then our experts at Houston Rebuilt Axles (HRA) are here to help you. We have over 75 years of combined experience repairing and rebuilding axles. Our professionals are also able to use a wide array of specialized equipment for axle rebuilds and repairs. This includes our lathe which we use to shape the axle back to factory specifications. Another service we provide is that we sell rebuilt axles and rear ends. We can also, door-to-door ship and pick up axles from any location in Rochester. We also offer this shipping service for anyone in the continental United States.

In our axle rebuilds and repairs, we trust Timken’s bearings and seals to replace them on the axle. Timken is highly trusted enough to be used on the James Webb Telescope which was launched at the end of 2021. And our axle rebuilds are covered by our warranty. We are also able to modify an axle to be used in any situation. If you would like to modify your axle, we can modify them for any reason. One example is that we can narrow an axle for use in a hot rod. Contact us and let us know how we can help!

Remanufactured, rebuilt, and modified differentials

Over the lifetime of a vehicle, the differential will wear down and will need to be repaired. We can do this by either rebuilding or remanufacturing the differential. A remanufactured will be trying to restore the differential back to new as much as possible by replacing more components than in rebuilding. All of the components that could be worn are replaced and other parts are replaced as needed. A rebuilt differential will rebuild the damaged differential by cleaning, inspecting, repairing the components and replacing parts only as needed. We can also modify differentials for any number of purposes. For example, if you want to go off-roading we can modify your differential for that purpose.

How can you tell if your axle is damaged?

As you drive you may experience a number of of the following symptoms if your axle has been damaged. The damage to the axle may have come from minor to major scenarios. For example, you could have hit a curb too hard and drove over a large pothole. Or it could have been caused by getting into a collision. Whatever the reason, if you experience any of the following symptoms, take your vehicle to a mechanic and have them inspect your axle.

• Leaks – You may see fluids leaking from the axle. This is caused by a crack or a dent in an axle. This is a cause for concern because the axle may no longer be properly lubricated.
• Vibrations – A strong vibration will be felt when driving your vehicle from the axle damage. The feeling can also feel more intense as you turn the steering wheel, also. 
• Noise – The noise from axle damage often comes from gears no longer lining up together. This causes the gears to grind against each other causing a sound while you drive. The axle just needs to get a dent or a bend for this to happen.
