Truck differential: repair and overhaul

Is your truck standing in the yard with a defective rear axle differential? We overhaul differentials or replace them with an overhauled differential, in our workshop in Niederlauer near Bad Neustadt. Where possible, we begin with a remote diagnosis.

  • Replacement also directly on site with us
  • Collection and return on request
  • Non-binding cost estimate

When the differential fails

The truck is stuck, the deadlines are running

The order books are full, deadlines have to be met, and a truck is standing in the yard with a defective differential. That is exactly what we are here for: we are your contact when it comes to defective rear axle drives.

We overhaul or recondition rear axle differentials. You have the choice: repair of your differential, replacement with an overhauled differential, or replacement or repair directly on site at our premises.

Your options

Repair, replacement or on-site replacement

Whichever option you choose: we advise you honestly on the sensible route.

  • Repair

    You send us the defective part. Our team professionally overhauls the differential; after completion and quality inspection we send it back to you. On request we take care of collection and return.

  • Replacement

    You order a differential overhauled by us in exchange for your defective part. Overhauled means: all defective and wear parts are renewed and the differential is released by our quality inspection.

  • On-site replacement

    Is your business or the truck close to us, or do you bring the vehicle to us? Then we replace or repair the differential directly at our site: removal, repair or replacement, installation to manufacturer specifications.

From the workshop

Case study: Actros MP3, HL6 axle

A customer brought in a rear axle differential of the HL6 axle (ratio 37:13) with forced damage. We removed the differential from the axle and clamped it onto our test bench. The fault diagnosis showed massive damage to the crown wheel and pinion, with individual teeth broken out. The customer received a replacement differential from us.
