Brake Compatibility

Compatible with all brake systems offered by Freightliner Trucks and Western Star Trucks.

Ground Clearance

Ground Clearance

Increased ground clearance due to smaller bowl helps to avoid obstacles.

Precision-Ground Gears

Precision-ground Gears

Precision-ground gears optimize the power flow and reduce noise.

Larger Differential

Our engineers eliminated the head bearing and integrated the ring gear in the differential housing to form one part. As a result they gained additional room to increase the size of the main differential, giving you better stability and longer-lasting durability.

Precision Ground Gears

Precision machined differential gears

Precision Machined Gears

The ring and pinion gears are machined using highly advanced power-dry cutting and grinding that result in exacting tooth profiles and ideal gear mesh—so precise, in fact, that the ring and pinion gears do not require pairing. These sophisticated processes render perfectly matched gearing to ensure more efficient power transmission, longer durability, quiet axle operation and enhanced driver comfort.

Less Weight, More Cargo

Our single-rear truck axle design allows for a significantly lighter axle in comparison to other axle brands—up to 28lbs less. Your bonus: less weight, lower lifecycle cost and more money for your business.

Strong Differential

By integrating the differential case and ring gear, Detroit axles allow more room for a larger and sturdier differential. This puts you in greater control of your truck, especially in tight or dangerous situations.

More Uptime

A pinion and carrier flange that completely seals the axle from the dirt and grime on the road means less maintenance, more road time and lower overall costs throughout the life of the axle.

Optional Equipment

  • Driver Controlled Differential Lock (DCDL)
  • NoSpin - for automatic differential locking
  • Driveline-mounted parking brake for hydraulic brake applications

Warranty

Our single-rear truck axles are covered for two years and unlimited miles.
