Common Causes of Heavy-Duty Axle Damage

Overloading

One of the most common causes of a snapped or warped axle is overloading. If your truck carries too much weight, your axles are put under a lot of strain. Generally, the payload capacity of your vehicle takes into account your axle capacity, so be sure to not haul more cargo than what your manufacturer has deemed safe. 

Although it's less common, axles can still be overloaded even if your cargo matches your payload capacity. This tends to happen when driving up steep hills at full throttle. This puts a lot of stress on your drivetrain and can lead to snapped axles. 

Uneven Terrain

If your trucks drive in areas with uneven terrain, examples being construction sites and logging roads, they may be more susceptible to axle damage than those that drive purely on paved roads. When trucks are at harsh angles, their drivetrains are forced to work at foreign angles. This can put a lot of strain on heavy-duty axles, especially in areas where traction is hard to maintain.
