Axle & Driveline Repair in Salem, UT
If your vehicle vibrates on acceleration, clicks when turning, or makes a rhythmic clunk while driving, your CV axles or driveline components could be worn out. At Tried and True Auto in Salem, Utah, we provide complete axle and driveline repair services—including CV axles, U-joints, carrier bearings, and differential connections—to keep your vehicle smooth, quiet, and dependable.
Whether you drive a front-wheel, rear-wheel, or all-wheel-drive vehicle, our certified technicians can diagnose and repair your system with precision and care.
CV Axle Repair & Replacement
Front-wheel and all-wheel-drive vehicles use CV (constant velocity) axles to transfer power from the transmission to the wheels while allowing suspension movement and steering control. When these joints wear or their protective boots tear, they can leak grease and begin to fail.
Common signs of CV axle problems:
-
Clicking or popping noises when turning
-
Vibration or shudder under acceleration
-
Grease splatter around wheels or suspension
-
Clunking noise when shifting between drive and reverse
At Tried and True Auto, we replace worn CV axles with high-quality OEM or premium aftermarket units, installed with new seals and torque-verified fasteners. We always inspect boots, hub bearings, and suspension geometry to ensure everything aligns correctly after replacement.
Solid Axle Service & Repair
For trucks, SUVs, and off-road vehicles equipped with solid or live axles, proper maintenance is critical to strength and reliability. Our technicians service both front and rear axles, including:
-
Axle seals and bearing replacement
-
Differential side gear inspection and resealing
-
Pinion bearing and yoke replacement
-
Axle shaft and U-joint replacement
-
Housing and vent inspection for leaks or corrosion
We use high-quality lubricants and parts designed for the rigors of Utah County’s towing, hauling, and off-road conditions.
Driveline & U-Joint Service
Your driveline transfers power from the transmission or transfer case to the axles. Over time, U-joints, carrier bearings, and slip yokes wear out—causing vibration, clunking, or imbalance.
Our driveline services include:
-
Driveline inspection and balancing
-
U-joint replacement and lubrication
-
Carrier bearing and support inspection
-
Slip-yoke servicing and sealing
-
Driveshaft alignment and runout correction
We also offer custom driveline repair and modification for lifted or performance vehicles requiring length adjustments or upgraded components.
