Although loaded beam axles are extremely durable, if a vehicle with loaded beam axles gets in an accident or carries a load beyond its means, they can be known to break. One benefit of loaded beam axles however, is that they are cheaper than other types of axles; so if you find that you need to replace a loaded beam axle on your high load vehicle, buying a used replacement will not be too expensive. However, the problem with finding a loaded beam axle may not be the price, but their availability. A replacement axle would need to come from the same make and model as your vehicle; if you own an older or more rare vehicle, you could have a difficult time finding a replacement axle; this is where Pro Auto USA can be beneficial to you.

What exactly is a Loaded Beam Axle?

Many people are confused by the difference between a loaded beam axle and other axles. At its most basic, a loaded beam axle is a straight beam that goes across the car connecting two wheels together. The most common application of the loaded beam axle is as the rear suspension in a front wheel drive heavy load vehicle. The loaded beam axle has a disadvantage compared to other axles that are in use because loaded beam axles do not allow the two wheels to move independently of one another; this causes a decrease is ride quality. For this reason most manufacturers no longer use loaded beam axles.
