As a trusted supplier of ROE recycled original equipment, Pete’s Auto Parts inspects and sells over 1,000 used axles each year, so we know a few things about what to look for in an axle and we are happy to share them with you!
The main considerations are mileage, location, and completeness. In terms of mileage, less is more! The lower mileage used axles will have less use, less wear and tear. We work hard to find you low mileage axles that last a long time.
In terms of location, geographically speaking, where the donor vehicle lived it’s life, where it drove around, matters. The used axles from vehicles here in Michigan where we battle frigid winters and our roads are spayed with salt, well those axles are going to have more surface corrosion. On the one hand, the exterior rust on an axle should not affect the performance. On another, no mechanic likes to deal with frozen rusty bolts. At Pete’s Auto Parts, we offer a range of axle assemblies from states like Texas where rust is much less prevalent and the used axles look nearly-new!
Completeness, well we sell axle assemblies and when we do we inspect the following components:
Wheel mounting surfaces and hardware
Hubs, locking hubs, unit bearings
Spindles
Axle housing
Steering linkage mounts and/or steering arm(s)
Ball Joints or kingpins
Axle shafts and U-joints
Ring and pinion
Locker, limited slip, differential
We open up the axle and inspect all the gears and teeth. We also verify the ratio.
To make sure the axle you purchase will be durable and reliable, purchase used axles from certified and reputable auto parts recyclers like Pete’s Auto Parts and choose extended part and labor warranty protection. We perform extensive inspections and follow quality assurance standards. Additionally, opting for axles that come with a warranty can provide added peace of mind. With a part-only warranty, Pete’s Auto Parts will repair or replace a part with a problem under warranty, but will not pay labor. That works great for a lot of DIY mechanics. But many of our shop customers choose to add labor protection!
The great thing about our ROE parts are that they were made by the original manufacturer of your vehicle! Imagine two cars are sold, identical in every way. One is driven 5,000 miles a year, and in 10 years, is in a fender bender that dents in the quarter panel, so the insurance company totals the car and it’s purchased by Pete’s Auto Parts, where we dismantle the vehicle, inspect and and stock the axle in a rack, ready to sell. Imagine the other identical vehicle is yours, and you have been driving 12,000 miles a year for the last 10 years. Your vehicle, with 120,000 miles on it, has lots of life left, but needs an axle. Why pay sometimes twice as much for a new part, when you can purchase the recycled axle from a vehicle with 50,000 miles which is not only better for the environment, the warranty is often BETTER!
When you install a new or remanufactured axle and there is a problem or a failure, typically the ()re)manufacturer will pay book hours at some low rate, such as $50 per hour. With the Pete’s Auto Parts custom labor protection, you choose exactly how much labor coverage you want, how much it costs to do the job right. Or if you are a DIY-er, you can choose to save and stick with a basic parts-only warranty.
Used axles can be just as good as new ones if they are properly inspected, maintained, and come from a reliable source. They should meet safety and performance standards. Buying from a certified recycler ensures you receive a part that is functional and safe, often at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
At Pete’s Auto Parts, used axles come with a standard 90-day warranty, with options for extending that to a 1-year or 3-year warranty. This is not a junkyard, we have a quality assurance program and we stand behind our product. No matter where you decide to buy used axles, ask about the warranty policy before purchasing to understand the coverage and duration. You can read more in our Warranty Section.
Pete’s Auto Parts has a huge, even extensive inventory of used axles that caters to various car and truck models and makes. We have foreign & domestic, new and old vehicles. But even if we do not have your vehicle, we have a nationwide network of the very best automotive recyclers we’re connected to through our exclusive trucking system. Which means we can ship an axle here from Texas in two days!
