We received the axle of an MAN TGS 32T 8x4 concrete mixer with the task of repairing it. After the driver reported crunching noises during work, the customer first took the vehicle to an MAN brand workshop. After removing the axle, metal shavings were found in the oil and the customer received an offer to have the entire axle replaced. However, as this was far too expensive for the customer, he turned to us.
We took the axle apart and realised that the bevel gears in the planetary gear of the axle were deformed due to wear and could no longer mesh properly. As a result, the gears were rubbing roughly against each other during operation, causing them to shave their metal. This explained the cause of the metal shavings in the oil.
The axle could still be repaired, but the entire planetary gear including the bevel gears had to be replaced. We ordered the spare parts and reassembled them before sending them back to the customer - ready for installation.
