Front Axles

 

Introduction


With over 100 years axle-manufacturing experience, ArvinMeritor has become the world's largest independent manufacturer of commercial truck axles for a broad range of vehicle applications. Integral to this expertise are Meritor® Front Axles.

Fleets rely on the mobility of their vehicles to give them the performance edge their operations demand. Meritor front axles enhance that mobility through superior materials that offer greater strength at lighter weights for increased payloads and higher operating efficiencies.

The Meritor® MX Series Single Reduction Front Drive Steer Axles provide durable off-road mobility from 10,000 lb. to 16,000 lb. GAWR. These axles use the popular Meritor 12x carrier, heavily offset to allow packaging in most vehicles without the need to significantly lift the vehicle’s front end.

The MX Series is designed to mate with Meritor MTC transfer cases for the proper input rotation and a matching front output location for low driveline angles to the front axle.
