Welding on axles sold by Terran Industries is performed by state-of-the-art automation equipment which ensures precision and consistency. We monitor the manufacturing process for our axles and maintain regular communication with the manufacturer on product specifications. These processes and close monitoring of manufacturing ensures accuracy in the welding process. With the quality control system, each axle goes through ultrasonic inspection for quality assurance before moving on to the next step in the manufacturing process.
Brake drums are designed with “cooling fins” which help the brakes and brake pads cool off faster. In addition, only high-end automotive-grade grease with a dropping point over 500 degrees Fahrenheit is used, which ensures the grease will remain at the desired viscosity.
Most axle manufacturers do not purchase the brake drum and bearings from the same source. In a perfect world, all bearings/races should be interchangeable from different sources, but there are quality differences. Our hubs/brake drums come from one source and have Terran Axle bearings/races installed.
Terran Axle brand automotive grade bearings are currently being used in OEM automotive applications worldwide.
The exterior and interior of our axle tubing are finished with a protective e-coating that creates an extra layer of durability and superior corrosion resistance.
Axles include spring seats that are welded on within a one-tenth of a millimeter degree of accuracy. We can deliver the springs seats separately. However, we recommend that axles are delivered with welded spring seats to ensure accuracy in even weight distribution as we have seen customers complain that other axle manufacturers’ spring seat placements are not precise, potentially causing uneven weight load.
Yes, we can. We provide customization to meet your axle needs and specifications.
Yes, axles that we offer to our customers are compatible with most other axles sold in the United States. As long as you order the same capacity, hub face, and spring seat length, they are interchangeable.
Yes, we provide replacement parts.
Yes, we have heard about this issue. Our U-bolt kits have a special anti-corrosion coating that extends the life and gives a clean finish to your U-bolt kit.
