Telescopic Handlers (412S, TM310), Wheeled Loaders
The axle shaft is a key component of the drive axle, transmitting torque from the differential to the final drive and wheel. If you hear loud, metallic "bangs" or knocking from the axle area, especially when changing direction or under heavy load, it may indicate a cracked or sheared axle shaft spline. This failure leads to a complete loss of drive to one wheel, immobilizing the machine and preventing further work.

The accuracy and quality of materials guarantee long and trouble-free use without the need for frequent replacement.
The axle shaft is fully adapted to work with original differentials and final drives, ensuring a consistent repair.
The GX-AFTER brand is a proven and safe alternative that offers quality comparable to original parts at a much better price.
When replacing an axle shaft, it is absolutely necessary to install a new set of seals and inspect the hub bearings. This will protect against leaks and ensure a longer repair life.
Before installing the new axle shaft, thoroughly check the condition of the splines in the differential side gear and the final drive sun gear. Worn teeth in these components will quickly destroy the new axle shaft.
Before installing new parts, it is imperative to clean the entire axle housing and hub of old oil residue and all metal shavings.
After the repair, fill the axle with fresh, dedicated gear oil, such as HYPTRON. This will ensure proper lubrication and cooling of the new parts.
Answer: Yes, this is the most likely cause. A loud bang followed by a sudden loss of drive is a classic symptom of a sheared axle shaft.
Question: Should I replace both axle shafts in the axle at the same time?Answer: It is not absolutely required, but it is recommended. Axle shafts in the same axle are subjected to similar loads and wear out at a similar rate. Replacing one often leads to the failure of the other in a short time.
Question: What is the main cause of axle shaft failure?Answer: The most common causes are material fatigue, sudden shock loads (e.g., when a spinning wheel suddenly gains traction), and bearing failure, which causes misalignment and uneven load on the shaft.
