Failure Analysis
Inspection
Failure analysis is the process of determining the original
cause of a component failure in order to keep it from
happening again. Too often, when a failed component is
replaced without determining its cause, there will be a recurring
failure. If a carrier housing is opened, revealing a ring
gear with a broken tooth, it is not enough to settle on the broken
tooth as the cause of the carrier failure. Other parts of the
carrier must be examined. For a thorough understanding of
the failure and possible insight into related problems, the
technician needs to observe the overall condition of the vehicle.
No one benefits when a failed component goes on the junk
pile with the cause unknown. Nothing is more disturbing to a
customer than a repeat failure. Systematically analyzing a failure
to prevent a repeat occurrence assures quality service by
avoiding unnecessary downtime and further expense to the
customer.
The true cause of a failure can be better determined by
knowing what to look for, determining how a piece of the
equipment was running, and learning about previous problems.
In the case of a rebuilt rear axle, mismatched gears may
have been installed.
The more successful shops prevent repeat equipment failures
by developing good failure analysis practices. Knowing how
to diagnose the cause of a premature failure is one of the
prerequisites of a good heavy-equipment technician.
Document the Problem
Here are some guidelines for starting to learn about a failure.
• Talk to the operator of the truck.
• Look at the service records.
• Find out when the truck was last serviced.
Ask the following questions:
• In what type of service is the truck being used?
• Has this particular failure occurred before?
• How was the truck working prior to the failure?
You need to be a good listener. Sometimes insignificant or
unrelated symptoms can point to the cause of the failure.
Ask the following questions:
• Was the vehicle operating at normal temperatures?
• Were the gauges showing normal ranges of operation?
• Was there any unusual noise or vibration?
After listening, review the previous repair and maintenance
records. If there is more than one driver, talk to all of them
and compare their observations for consistency with the
service and maintenance records. Verify the chassis Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) number from the vehicle identification
plate, as well as the mileage and hours on the vehicle.
How to Diagnose a Failure
The following five steps are an effective approach to good
failure diagnostics.
1. Document the problem.
2. Make a preliminary investigation.
3. Prepare the parts for inspection.
4. Find the cause of the failure.
5. Correct the cause of the problem.

Inspection
Make a Preliminary Investigation
These steps consist of external inspections and observations
that will be valuable when combined with the results of the
parts examination.
•Look for leaks, cracks or other damage that can
point to the cause of the failure.
•Make note of obvious leaks around plugs and seals.
A missing fill or drain plug would be an obvious
cause for concern.
•Look for cracks in the carrie r housing (harder to see,
but sometimes visible).
•Does the general mechanical condition of the vehicle
indicate proper maintenance or are there signs of
neglect?
•Are the tires in good condition and do the sizes
match?
•If equipped with a torque-limiting device, is it working properly?
During the preliminary investigation, write down anything
out of the ordinary for later reference. Items that appear
insignificant now may take on more importance when the
subassemblies are torn down.
Find the Cause of the Failure
Here begins the real challenge to determine the exact cause of
the failure. Keep in mind that there is no benefit to replacing a
failed part without determining the cause of the failure. For
example, after examining a
ure is caused by a lack of lubrication, you must determine if
there was an external leak. Obviously, if there is an external
leak, just replacing the failed gear is not going to correct the
situation.
Another important consideration is to determine the specific
type of failure which can be a valuable indicator for the cause
of failure. The following pages show different types of failures
and possible causes. Use this as a guide in determining types
of failures and to correct problems.
Correct the Cause of the Problem
Once the cause of the problem has been determined, refer to
the appropriate service manual to perform the repairs.

Inspection
Prepare the Parts for Inspection
After the preliminary investigation, locate the failure and prepare the part for examination. In carrier failure analysis, it may
be necessary to disassemble the unit.
•When disassembling subassemblies and parts, do
not clean the parts immediately since cleaning may
destroy some of the evidence.
•When tearing down the drive axle, do it in the recommended manner. Minimize any further damage to the
unit.
•Ask more questions when examining the interior of
the carrier. Does the lubricant meet the manufacturer
specifications regarding quality, quantity and viscosity? As soon as you have located the failed part, take
time to analyze the data.

Clean
1.Wash steel parts with ground or polished surfaces
in solvent. There are many suitable commercial
solvents available. Kerosene and diesel fuel are
acceptable.
WARNING
Gasoline is not an acceptable solvent because of its
extreme combustibility. It is unsafe in the workshop environment.
2.Wash castings or other rough parts in solvent or
clean in hot solution tanks using mild alkali solutions.
Note: If a hot solution tank is used, make sure parts are
heated thoroughly before rinsing.
3.Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of the cleaning
solution.
4.Dry parts immediately with clean rags.
5.Oil parts.
•If parts are to be reused immediately: Lightly oil.
•If parts are to be stored: Coat with oil, wrap in
corrosion resistant paper and store in a clean,
dry place.
Inspect Axle Housing
Axle housing inspection and repairs are limited to the
following checks or repairs.
•Visually inspect axle housing for
burrs on machined surfaces.
•Check carrier bolt holes and studs for foreign
material.
•Replace damaged fasteners. Look for loose studs or
cross threaded holes.
CAUTION
Any damage which affects the alignment or structural integrity of the housing requires housing replacement. Do not
repair by bending or straightening. This process can affect
the material's properties and cause it to fail completely
under load.
•Check all seals and gaskets.
cracks, nicks, and
Note: Replace conventional gaskets with silicone rubber
gasket compound (included in many repair kits). The
compound provides a more effective seal against lube
seepage and is easier to remove from mating surfaces
when replacing parts.

2 - Machined surface
Inspect Components
Inspect all steel parts for:
•Notches, visible steps or grooves created by wear
•Pitting or cracking along gear contact lines
•Scuffing, deformation, or discolorations. These are
of excessive heat in the axle and are usually
signs
related to low lubrication levels or improper lubrication practices.
In addition, inspect the following for damage:
•Differential gearing.
•Bearings for loose fit on drive pinion, pilot bearing,
and differential bearings.
•All fasteners for rounded heads, bends, cracks, or
damaged threads.
•Inspect machined surfaces of cast or malleable
parts. They must be free of nicks, burrs, cracks,
scoring, and wear.
•Look for elongation of drilled holes, wear on surfaces machined for bearing fits and nicks or burrs in
mating surfaces.
Inspect Primary Gearing
Before reusing a primary gearset, inspect teeth for signs of
excessive wear. Check tooth contact pattern for evidence of
incorrect adjustment.
