How To Tell If Your Truck Has A Single Or Dual Rear Wheel Axle
When it comes to vehicle maintenance, choosing the correct replacement lines is essential, especially when dealing with different types of rear axles. While most trucks use single rear wheel axels, many heavy duty trucks use dual rear wheel axles. This is because the dual rear wheel axle setup provides greater load and towing capacities.
So how do you tell if your truck has a single or dual rear wheel axle setup and why does it matter? Check out the info below for answers to those questions.
In the LinesToGo video, they demonstrate a simple but effective way to identify whether your vehicle is SRW or DRW. A quick check is looking at the rear tires:
"If there are two tires on each side in the back, that’s a dual rear wheel setup."
Knowing which type of axel your truck has will help you choose the right type of line which is essential to vehicle safety and longevity. Otherwise, misidentifying could mean parts that don’t fit properly or meet the load requirements which can affect the performance of your vehicle.
