Axle Eye Repair in Northern California

Professional On Site Axle Eye Repair Since 1972

When axle eyes wear out, it creates a serious problem for heavy-duty vehicles. Misaligned axle eyes can cause premature bearing wear, steering problems, and unsafe driving conditions. At Axle Surgeons™ of Northern California, we specialize in precision axle eye repair using our patented mobile sleeving system.

Instead of removing the axle housing and sending it to a shop — which could mean days of downtime and thousands in towing and labor costs — we repair the axle eye directly on your vehicle. Our technicians machine-bore the worn eye and install a precision-engineered steel sleeve, restoring it to better than factory specifications. The result is a fast, cost-effective repair that strengthens the axle, extends its life, and gets you back on the road quickly.

For over 50 years, we’ve been the trusted name in axle and spindle repair across Northern California and Southern Oregon. From single trucks to entire fleets, we bring the repair shop to you with unmatched expertise and reliability.

What Is Axle Eye Repair?

The axle eye is the machined opening at the end of a steer axle where the king pin and bushings sit. Over time, heavy loads, poor road conditions, and constant use cause wear in this area. As the eye stretches or becomes elongated, steering alignment suffers, and bearings can fail prematurely.

Traditional repair methods often involve replacing the entire axle housing, a time-consuming and costly solution. Our patented axle eye sleeving process solves the problem on site. By boring the worn eye and installing a thin, high-strength sleeve, we restore exact alignment and ensure safe, smooth steering performance.

Why Axle Eye Repair Matters for Your Vehicle

Ignoring axle eye wear is never a good option. Even a small amount of elongation can quickly lead to major damage and unsafe operating conditions.

Here’s what can happen when axle eyes are not repaired in time:

• Increased bearing wear leading to repeated breakdowns and costly part replacements.

• Steering difficulties such as pulling, vibration, or excessive play in the wheel.

• Brake and suspension strain due to improper alignment.

• Higher operating costs from premature tire wear, fuel inefficiency, and added repairs.

• Safety risks for drivers, cargo, and other motorists on the road.

By choosing mobile axle eye repair, you’re protecting your investment, improving safety, and keeping your fleet moving without unnecessary downtime.

Our Proven Repair Process

At Axle Surgeons™ of Northern California, our axle eye repair process is the most advanced in the industry. Every step is designed to maximize accuracy, strength, and durability.

1. Inspection and Preparation
   Our technician arrives on site and inspects the axle eye for damage. Whether the axle is still mounted or loose, we can perform the repair without removing the axle housing.

2. Precision Boring
   The worn axle eye is carefully bored out using specialized mobile equipment. This ensures the opening is perfectly round and prepared for sleeving.

3. Custom Sleeve Installation
   A precision-made steel sleeve is installed into the bored eye. At just .050″ thick, the sleeve restores the eye to original dimensions without compromising strength.

4. Final Alignment Checks
   Once the sleeve is installed, the inclination angle and overall alignment are carefully checked. This ensures steering performance and axle integrity meet or exceed factory specifications.

The entire process is typically completed in just a few hours, getting your vehicle back in service quickly and efficiently.
