Drive Strength

The larger differential is just the first reason why our proprietary single proprietary rear axles are more durable. Add increased ground clearance, precision cut gear sets and a solid warranty, and it is obvious why these axles are a clear advantage.

  • Up to 23,000 Lbs Capacity
  • Up to 1100 lb-ft Torque
  • From 2.92 to 6.85 Available Ratios
  • Up to 128 Lbs Weight Advantage
Single Rear Axle

Performance

Lightweight—Single rear axles are significantly lighter than other brands: up to 128 lbs less,* which results in added fuel efficiency and maximum payload.
* (depending on model)

Precision Ground Gears - The ring gear and pinion tooth profiles are precision ground, using a state-of-the-art manufacturing process to ensure a consistent gear mesh, resulting in quieter and more efficient operation with longer gear life.

Innovation

Larger Differential – The elimination of the pinion head bearing provides additional space and allows the use of a larger differential.

Brake Compatibility—Proprietary single rear axles are compatible with all brakes offered by Freightliner, Sterling, and Western Star Trucks.

Reliability

Lower Life Cycle Cost—Easy maintenance and less oil capacity reduce the life cycle cost of the axle, while the pinion and carrier flange deliver top-notch oil seal performance.

Warranty

2 years / unlimited miles. Call you dealership for more detailed information.
