What You Get
What a Rear Axle Assembly Includes
A rear axle assembly is the whole unit that sits between your rear wheels. When you buy a complete rear axle assembly for sale from us, you get:
- The axle housing (the tube that holds everything)
- The differential, with its ring and pinion gears
- Both axle shafts and their bearings
- The ABS tone ring or sensor mount, where your truck has one
- Brake backing plates or caliper brackets, depending on the donor, so confirm what ships with each unit
Buying the full assembly makes sense when the housing is bent, several parts are worn at once, or you want the truck back on the road in one job. Only need one piece? See our used differentials or used axle shafts.

Which Axle Is Under Your Truck?
Two trucks from the same year can carry different axles. Here are the two comparisons we get asked about most.
Ford 8.8 vs 9.75 rear axle
Most F-150s use the 8.8-inch rear axle. Trucks built for heavier towing often got the 9.75-inch axle, which has a larger ring gear and stronger shafts. They don't swap without changes, so check the axle code on the driver's door sticker before you order.
Dana 44 vs Dana 30 axle
On JK Wranglers, every rear axle is a Dana 44. Up front, most trims use a Dana 30, while Rubicons get a stronger Dana 44 with a locker. If you need a used front axle assembly for sale for a Jeep, tell us your trim or VIN and we'll match it.
Not sure what you have? Send your VIN. We'll decode it for you.
Warning Signs
Bad Rear Axle Symptoms
Catch these early and you may save the housing and gears.
Whining or howling that changes with speed
Usually worn ring and pinion gears or bad bearings inside the housing.
Clunking when you shift or let off the gas
Too much play in the gears or worn U-joints.
Vibration or wobble at highway speed
A bent axle shaft or damaged housing, often after hitting a curb or pothole.
Gear oil on the inside of a rear wheel
A failed axle seal. Left alone, it soaks the brakes.
ABS or traction control light
A damaged tone ring or sensor on the axle can set it off.
If more than one of these shows up at once, replacing the full assembly is often cheaper than fixing each part.

Easy Axle Core Returns in California
An old axle housing is heavy and awkward to ship back. Strap it to the same crate it arrived on, call us, and we'll send a carrier to pick it up from your shop. In-state returns reach us in days, so your core deposit clears faster.
Rear axle assembly price depends on the truck and the axle size. Ours run $400 to $800 for most half-ton trucks, with free shipping in California. That's usually well below dealer price.
You'll pay for the part plus labor. Labor varies by truck and shop, so get an install quote. Buying the full assembly often saves labor compared with rebuilding the old one.
Whining that changes with speed, clunking, vibration at highway speed, gear oil on the inside of a wheel, or an ABS light.
It can. A mismatched ratio or tone ring sends the wrong wheel speed signal to the ABS module, which can set warning lights and throw off the speedometer.
A used axle comes straight from a donor truck and is tested before sale. A remanufactured rear end has been rebuilt with new bearings and seals. It usually costs more and carries a longer warranty.
OEM fits your truck's brakes, ABS and suspension exactly. Aftermarket axles vary in fit and quality. That's why we only sell used OEM units.
Look for a seller that confirms gear ratio, spline count and ABS fit against your VIN, documents donor mileage, and offers a written warranty. We do all four.
If you're searching for a used axle assembly near me in California, you don't need a local yard. We ship free statewide and most orders arrive in 1 to 3 business days.
Ask for the gear ratio, spline count, donor mileage, ABS compatibility and warranty terms. Then make sure the seller matches it to your VIN.
Yes. Call ahead and we'll have it crated and ready.
