Don’t Replace the Whole Axle—Replace the Spindle and Save
When a spindle fails on a commercial truck or trailer, many repair shops may recommend a full axle replacement—costing you thousands in parts and labor. But at Bigler Boyz Truck & Trailer Repair, we believe in smarter, more cost-effective solutions. Our axle spindle repair service allows you to replace just the damaged spindle, getting you back on the road faster and for a fraction of the cost.
Our custom-designed replacement spindles are engineered to match or exceed OEM specifications. They’re built to fit OEM axles without requiring full axle replacement—perfect for fleet owners, independent operators, and repair shops looking to reduce downtime and expenses.
What Is an Axle Spindle? Bigler Boyz Explains
The axle spindle is critical to your truck’s suspension and steering system. It connects your axle to the wheel hub, allowing the wheel to spin freely and safely under heavy loads. When a spindle becomes damaged due to wear and tear, overheating, failed bearings, or accidents, it compromises your entire wheel assembly and poses a serious safety risk.
The problem? Most OEM axles come with spindles that are permanently integrated. Once they fail, many shops will recommend replacing the entire axle—a costly and time-consuming repair that can pull your vehicle off the road for days. At Bigler Boyz, our repair process eliminates that hassle. We replace just the spindle, using high-strength components and precision welding to restore your axle’s functionality quickly and reliably.
Signs Your Truck May Need Spindle Repair
Catching spindle problems early can prevent more significant, more expensive issues down the line. Keep an eye (and ear) out for these common warning signs:
- Unusual noises while driving, like clicking, clunking, or a persistent whirring sound, especially while turning
- Unexplained vibrations in the steering wheel or cab, which can indicate spindle misalignment or bearing failure
- Grease leaking from around the wheel hub or visible on the inside of the wheel rim
- Abnormal tire wear or trouble aligning the wheels
- Visual damage to the spindle area during a brake or bearing inspection
If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule a spindle inspection with Bigler Boyz as soon as possible. Delaying repairs can damage the hub, bearings, or even axle housing further.
