Preventative maintenance for drivelines
Driveshaft inspections, lubrication of the universal joints and alignment checks are cheap next to what they prevent. A worn U-joint is a vibration; the same vibration six months later is a differential, a set of axle shafts and a truck on a hook.
We wrote up how that progression actually works in From U-joints to axle shafts.

FAQ
Common questions
What are the signs of driveline problems in heavy-duty trucks?
Signs of driveline problems include vibrations while driving, clunking noises during acceleration and difficulty steering. These symptoms may indicate worn universal joints, misaligned driveshafts or damaged differentials. Addressing them early prevents further damage.
How often should drivelines be inspected?
Drivelines should be inspected during regular maintenance, especially on trucks that carry heavy loads or run long distances. A comprehensive inspection every six months catches wear before it becomes a breakdown, and checks proper lubrication and alignment at the same time.
Which driveline issues most often lead to axle failures?
Minor U-joint wear, driveshaft imbalance and neglected differential maintenance cause vibration and shock loads that damage gears, axle shafts and wheel ends. Recognizing these early is what turns an unexpected axle repair into a scheduled inspection.

What customers say
I personally think this is the best most knowledgeable shop great tire guys great mechanics. Very safety conscious! When you leave here all questions are answered and you’ll feel better about your ride. So if your coming through Charlotte stop in and check them out.
Arlen Ledbetter Professional, knowledgeable and reasonable on pricing. I’ve had alignments and balancing done here as well as an oil change. As an owner operator, I find Reed and the staff some of the best around in Charlotte when it comes to maintaining a semi.
Clever Black EagleSpan installed 6 new tires on my RV. They got the tires I wanted quickly, balanced and mounted the tires while I waited. They even installed new valve stems. Friendly people, great prices and speedy service earns them 5 stars. It’s also the only place in the Charlotte area that I know of that does alignments on big rigs.
