How does Houston Rebuilt Axles repair spindle ends and bent axles in Knoxville?

The team at Houston Rebuilt Axles has the skills and tools to repair axles back to factory specifications.  First, the team tears down the axle to a bare housing and then applies it to a lathe. While the axle housing is on the lathe, the spindle end gets replaced with a replacement spindle built in-house.  The damaged spindle is then cut off and disposed while the replacement is welded on. 

What else does the team at HRA check on the axle?

HRA verifies that the axle is perfectly straight.  If left unchecked, there are risks that the truck will burn up tires, break an axle, or damage the hub seal.  Then, the team will install a new hub, bearing set, rotor, and seals. The center will get a fluff and buff treatment to make sure that it is road-ready.  Finally, the axle is filled with fluid and the housing is painted.  

How much does an axle rebuild cost?

The costs of an axle rebuild varies depending on the amount of damage and wears & tear already existing on the axle. For better assessments on axle rebuilds, customers can contact HRA directly at 832-280-8489 to receive a quick quote, or by email so we can better assess the scope of work on the repair.

The city of Knoxville is located in the state of Tennessee and sits as a county seat of Knox County. In a state census taken July 1, 2019, the city of Knoxville’s population was 187,603, making it the largest city in the East Tennessee Grand Division, and the state’s overall third largest city.

When it was established in 1786, Knoxville was the first capital of Tennessee. At this time the city struggled with it’s geographic isolation throughout the early 19th century. With the arrival of the railroad in 1855, Knoxville found itself in an economic boom. Then later during the Civil War, the city became bitterly divided over the secession issue, and found itself occupied by both the Confederate and Union armies. Following the war, Knoxville managed to grow rapidly as a major wholesaling and manufacturing center. This unfortunately did not prosper as it’s previous economic boom did, and in turn left the city’s economy stagnate after the 1920s as the manufacturing sector collapsed. The downtown Knoxville area declined and city leaders became entrenched in highly partisan political fights. In an effort to reinvigorate the city, they were able to host the 1982 World’s Fair, and it’s revitalization efforts initiated by city leaders and private developers have had major successes in spurring growth in the city, especially the downtown area.
