A Damaged Spindle Does Not Always Mean a New Axle
When a wheel end fails, the complete axle assembly is often quoted for replacement before the damage has been properly assessed. If the axle tube and the surrounding structure are still serviceable, replacing the damaged spindle can be a practical alternative that returns the unit to work sooner.
Every axle must be inspected first. Suitability depends on the condition of the axle, where the damage is located, the measurements taken at the wheel end and how the unit is used. Some axles are damaged beyond a spindle repair, and when that is the case, full axle replacement is the honest recommendation.
Northwest Axle Spindle never promises that an axle can be repaired before it has been inspected.
