  • Noises that sound like clanking, clicking or clanking while driving or turning mean your axle shaft assembly is excessively worn
  • Unusually low fuel economy can be caused by dragging that results from improper alignment of the truck axle.
  • Excessive vibrations felt through the seat or steering wheel are often caused by uneven rotation of your truck’s axle
  • Grease on the outer rim of a tire indicates that there is leaking coming from one of the axle joints
