Motor City Trailer Repair — Axle & Suspension Service

Motor City Trailer Repair provides dependable axle repair services for trailer owners in Livingston County. We routinely address bent or broken axles, worn bearings, seized hubs, misaligned spindles, and damaged suspension mounts that compromise safe towing. Michigan’s freeze-thaw cycles, salty winter roads, and heavy towing from landscaping, agriculture, and construction increase axle wear and failure risk. Our technicians begin with detailed inspections and runout tests to find hidden damage so repairs restore load capacity, braking balance, and towing stability for both work trailers and recreational rigs.

Service overview

Our axle repair service covers diagnosis, part replacement, precision alignment, and on-site fabrication when needed. We remove and inspect axles, replace worn or damaged spindles, hubs, seals, and wheel bearings, and rebalance wheels to eliminate wobble and premature tire wear. For bent or cracked axles we perform straightening or full axle replacement using grade-specific steel and welded reinforcements. Suspension and leaf spring mounting points are checked and repaired or reinforced, and we verify tongue and coupler alignment to prevent trailer sway. Brake components are inspected and serviced—drums, rotors, shoes, and hydraulic or electric brake systems are tested and calibrated. Every repair includes torque checks, grease and lubrication, and a controlled load test so the trailer leaves our shop ready for safe towing with restored capacity and reliability.
