Semi Truck Drive Shaft & Driveline Repair in North Little Rock, AR
The driveline is the system that transfers power from your transmission to the drive axles. It includes the driveshaft, universal joints (U-joints), carrier bearings, and associated hardware. When any component of the driveline fails, you can lose power to the drive wheels or cause catastrophic damage to other drivetrain components. Legget Truck Repair provides expert driveline repair for all commercial vehicles in North Little Rock, AR.
Understanding the Commercial Truck Driveline
A typical Class 8 semi truck has a complex driveline running from the transmission output to the rear axle(s). Tandem axle trucks have a longer driveline with an inter-axle shaft as well. Each section is connected by universal joints that allow for the angular movement required as the suspension moves. The entire driveline must be balanced to prevent vibration at highway speeds.
Signs of Driveline Problems
- Vibration felt throughout the truck, especially at certain speeds
- Clunking or banging noise when accelerating or decelerating
- Squeaking or grinding from underneath the truck
- Grease spray on underside (failed U-joint grease seal)
- Visible wobble in driveshaft when viewed from behind
- Power loss with no other obvious cause
- Metal shavings or debris on ground under truck

Why U-Joint Maintenance Matters
Universal joints are wear items that require regular greasing and inspection. A failed U-joint can cause the driveshaft to separate completely – potentially causing the shaft to strike the ground or other vehicles, creating a serious road hazard. Our technicians perform thorough U-joint inspections during every driveline service call.

What Our Customers Say
Real reviews from real truck drivers and fleet operators we've helped get back on the road.
"I was in distress due a breakdown calling any and every Big Rig mobile mechanic in the Little Rock Arkansas area. I had been referred to DJ because the mechanic is called said he was too far away. I called for DJ but was not able to get him immediately because he was on another call. So I got in touch with another mechanic that was on site by time DJ got back to me. Even though he didn't get the work he continued to check on me, even the next day to ascertain that the repairs were good. Now that's called character and integrity. Thanks so much."
"Legget Truck Repair provided outstanding service when my truck faced multiple issues, including a tire blowout, brake problems, an air leak, a fuel system issue, and an oil change. Their 24-hour service team was prompt, professional, and fixed everything efficiently. They kept me informed throughout and ensured my truck was fully road-ready. Now it’s running perfectly, and I couldn’t be happier with their work. Highly recommend them for any truck repair needs!"
"I’m with a public school district. Our band trailer had problems with the brakes at an event in Bryant. I found Leggett Truck Repair on the internet. An actual person answered, not an automated system. They were helpful and quickly got me in touch with the mobile tech. Billy, the mobile tech was very accommodating, professional and knowledgeable. He was able to get to us in about an hour and got the repair completed after a short time. We made it back home without any further issues. I felt the price was very reasonable for a Saturday afternoon. I have saved their number in case of future needs while in the Little Rock area."
