Keep Your Trailer Rolling Smoothly

Axle maintenance and repair services for automobile trailers in Petrolia, Texas.

When you haul equipment or cargo across north central Texas, your trailer's axles carry the weight and take the punishment from uneven roads and heavy loads. If you live in Petrolia and use your trailer regularly, worn bearings, misaligned axles, or dried-out lubrication can turn a routine trip into a breakdown on the side of the highway.

JB Manufacturing & Repair provides axle maintenance and repair for automobile trailers, focusing on lubrication, alignment, and structural integrity. This work includes inspecting wheel bearings, checking spindle condition, adjusting alignment to prevent uneven tire wear, and applying fresh grease to moving parts. Each service addresses the common wear points that lead to failure when trailers are used frequently or loaded beyond normal capacity.

Schedule an axle inspection or repair with JB Manufacturing & Repair in Petrolia to keep your trailer ready for the road.

What happens during an axle service

Your trailer is lifted and supported so each axle can be accessed safely, and the wheels are removed to expose the hubs and spindles. JB Manufacturing & Repair inspects the bearings for pitting or discoloration, checks the spindle for scoring or cracks, and measures alignment using calibrated tools to ensure both axles track properly under load.

After the service, your trailer will roll straighter, tires will wear evenly, and the risk of a hub seizing up during transport drops significantly. Proper lubrication keeps friction low and heat manageable, which extends the life of both the axle and the wheel assembly.

If alignment cannot be corrected through adjustment, replacement parts are sourced and installed to restore factory specifications. This work is done only on automobile trailers and does not include agricultural or industrial equipment. Once the axles are serviced, the trailer is tested under simulated load conditions before being returned to you.

Homeowners and business operators in Petrolia often want to know what axle maintenance involves, how long it takes, and what signs indicate a problem before booking a service appointment.

Questions that come up before booking

What are the signs that my trailer axle needs service?
You may notice uneven tire wear, a wobble when towing, or heat buildup in the hubs after driving. These symptoms suggest bearing wear, misalignment, or lubrication failure.
How long does axle maintenance take?
Most axle services are completed within a few hours, depending on the number of axles and the condition of the bearings and spindles. Alignment corrections and part replacements may extend the timeline.
What type of lubrication is used?
High-temperature wheel bearing grease rated for trailer applications is applied to ensure durability under load and heat. This grease resists washout and maintains viscosity in demanding conditions.
Can you service tandem axle trailers?
Yes, JB Manufacturing & Repair services single, tandem, and triple axle configurations on automobile trailers. Each axle is inspected and serviced individually to ensure proper function.
How often should axle maintenance be performed?
For trailers used frequently or loaded heavily, annual maintenance is recommended. Lighter use may allow for longer intervals, but inspection is advised if you notice handling changes or unusual noise.
