Experts at HRA rebuild axles using industry-standard Timken bearings. The warranty we provide gives you peace of mind with the quality of our axles. The axles can be modified for any purpose you might need, such as upgrading a differential or narrowing the axle for hotrod drivers.

How is a Repaired Axle Assembly done?

Initially, for the axle to be repaired it must be disassembled first. Various components of the axle, such as the ring gear, axle shafts, rotors, and bearing sets are torn down to the bare housing. The pinion bearing and shaft are kept in place. A lathe is used to straighten the axle and is important to use. Using a lathe allows our experts to prevent issues from happening later on and to factory specifications. We then welded onto the axle our in-house-built replacement spindle end when your spindle end is damaged. Reassembling, painting, and filling fluid in the axle completes the repair.

What is involved in a Rebuilt Axle Assembly from HRA?

As with the repaired axle assembly, the axle is stripped down to the bare housing. Then the axle is cleaned thoroughly. Next, a high-quality OEM ring and pinion is used to replace the old ring and pinion. Timken replacement bearings are used to replace the bearings in the axle. Timken is the industry benchmark for bearings and is why we use them in our axle rebuilds. Used axle shafts we have previously inspected to ensure safety are used to replace the axle shafts. Following that, if a rotor is bolted behind the hub, the rotors are turned or replaced so that new brake pads can be applied. The process is completed with the reassembly of the axle. It is then painted and filled with fluid.

Casper, Wyoming Information

Nicknamed “The Oil City”, Casper is the second-largest city in Wyoming. Casper’s population is 57,931 as of 2019, with Cheyenne being the only city larger in Wyoming. Its nickname comes from being an oil boomtown. The median age of the population in Casper is 36 years according to the 2010 census.

In the 1890s, oil was discovered near Casper, becoming the industry center of petroleum in the region. The Salt Creek Oil Field was established in 1889 and is the cause of Casper becoming an oil boomtown. The city started refining the crude oil from the oil field in 1895 with three refineries near the city. The remaining refinery is located nearby in Evansville and is run by the Sinclair Oil Corporation.

Casper was named in honor of Caspar Collins, a second lieutenant killed in 1865. Casper is home to the Cottonwood Creek Dinosaur Trails where you are able to walk the trail and see evidence of dinosaurs along the path. It is also a popular fly fishing location with the North Platte River nearby.
