Can Houston Rebuilt Axles rebuild axle assemblies in Memphis?

The team at HRA specializes in 1-ton dual-wheel rear axles for Chevrolet, Dodge, and Ford trucks. The average rebuild turn around time is a day in order to replace the ring and pinion, wheel bearings, and seals.  Houston Rebuilt Axles stocks axles from most makes and models, leaving customers with a rebuilt axle assembly ready to pick up. For rebuilt axles, HRA requires the old axle in exchange and a core deposit which is added to the invoice until it is returned.

Differentials and rear axles

The axle is more commonly referred to as the rear end or the rear differential. How a differential works is a complicated process and varies based on the differential used.  The rear axle is the final leg of the drivetrain. It is the final point where rotational speed from the driveshaft is applied to the rear wheels.

The city of Memphis sits along the Mississippi River in southwest Shelby County. In a 2019 census it was estimated Memphis’ population was at 651,073, making it Tennessee’s second largest city, next to the Tennessee capital, Nashville. Memphis does sit as the nations largest city situated on the Mississippi River. The city is recognized as one of the more historic and culturally significant cities of the southern United States as it features a variety of landscapes and distinct neighborhoods.

The first European explorer to visit the site of what would be Memphis today, was Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto in 1541 with his expedition into the New World. The high Chickasaw Bluffs protecting the location from the waters of the Mississippi was then contested by the Spanish, French, and the English as Memphis took shape. Modern Memphis was founded in 1819 by three prominent Americans: John Overton, James Winchester, and future president Andrew Jackson.

Memphis grew into one of the largest cities of the Antebellum South as a market for agricultural goods and natural resources like lumber, and the American slave trade. After the American Civil War and the end of slavery, the city experienced even faster growth into the 20th century as it became among the largest world markets for cotton and lumber.

Home to Tennessee’s largest African-American population, Memphis played a prominent role in the American civil rights movement and was the site of Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1968 assassination. The city now hosts the National Civil Rights Museum—a Smithsonian affiliate institution. Since the civil rights era, Memphis has become one of the nation’s leading commercial centers in transportation and logistics. Its largest employer is the multinational courier corporation FedEx, which maintains its global air hub at Memphis International Airport, making it the second-busiest cargo airport in the world.
