HGV & commercial vehicles

Replace the Joint, Not the Shaft

Worn universal joints in an HGV steering shaft do not always mean the complete shaft needs replacing.

AP Titan replaces the universal joints within HGV and commercial vehicle steering shafts, from our workshop in Boston, Lincolnshire.

We do not repair or rebuild the shaft assembly itself.

Not sure if it is the joints or the shaft?

How the joint fails

When the Joints Are the Problem

Universal joints allow the steering shaft to operate through changing angles while transferring steering movement. As they wear, movement develops in the shaft. That movement does not always mean the shaft is finished.

Commercial vehicle parts can be expensive, particularly when a replacement is only available as a complete assembly. Where the joints are the worn part, replacing them costs considerably less than a complete steering shaft.
