What Is an Axle Assembly, and Why Is It Important? 

engine axleWhen it comes to keeping your vehicle running smoothly, every component matters—especially the axle assembly. A failing or worn-out axle can lead to serious handling issues, unsafe driving conditions, and costly repairs. That’s why Gearhead Engines offers high-quality, remanufactured axle assemblies that are built for durability, performance, and ease of installation.

The axle assembly is a critical component that connects your wheels, transferring power from the engine and transmission to the tires. It’s responsible for supporting vehicle weight, maintaining stability, and ensuring smooth movement. Over time, axles can wear out due to heavy loads, harsh driving conditions, or natural wear and tear.

If you notice clunking noises, vibrations, or difficulty steering, it might be time to replace your axle assembly. Instead of buying new, a remanufactured axle assembly can provide the same reliability and performance at a fraction of the cost.

Six Ways to Get the Best Reman Deal

Get the BEST deal on Gearhead remanufactured products

When you’re shopping for a replacement engine, transmission, cylinder heads, etc., it’s important to make sure you’re comparing products “apples to apples.” As you make up your mind, here are six details you won’t want to overlook.

Is it just rebuilt, or is it fully remanufactured?

Reman products are more accurately compared with new.
Rebuilt products are basically products that have had some new parts installed. They still may retain a number of used components, and they’ve had little (if any) machine work done.

On the other hand, remanufactured products are more accurately compared with new – and sometimes better than new. They’re built using all-new components, and they’re machined to current OE specifications or better. Nothing is left untouched.

How complete is a remanufactured build?

Does the engine include things like timing components and gasket sets? Gearhead remanufactured engines do.

Are you getting all the TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) updates?

These updates are improvements to the original design issued by the OE manufacturers. Gearhead remanufactured products include every TSB update.

Have the products been tested? How well?

Every product from Gearhead Engines comes sim-tested to verify proper function and performance.

Do remanufactured products come with warranties? How good are they?

This is important, because warranties can vary hugely between companies. Gearhead remanufactured product warranties are trusted and dependable and range from 12 months to three years with no-fault protection add-ons in some cases. Be sure check out our warranties and feel free to ask if you have additional questions.

What about shipping?

Gearhead Engines charges a low, FLAT shipping fee with every product, and we’ll always pick up the core for return FREE of charge.
