Frequently Asked Questions About Sterling A-Series Truck Drivetrain Parts
What years and models of Sterling A-Series trucks do these drivetrain parts fit?
Our Sterling A-Series drivetrain parts are designed to fit Sterling A9500, A9513, and AT9500 models manufactured between 1999 and 2009. However, specific compatibility can vary by part type and your truck's configuration. We recommend checking your VIN or calling our support team at 1-888-875-7787 with your truck's year, model, and serial number to ensure proper fitment before ordering.
Are these OEM Sterling parts or aftermarket replacements?
We carry both genuine OEM Sterling drivetrain components and high-quality aftermarket alternatives. OEM parts are clearly marked in our product listings and typically cost 20-40% more than aftermarket options. Our aftermarket parts meet or exceed OEM specifications and often come from the same manufacturers that supplied Sterling originally, such as Meritor, Eaton, and Dana/Spicer.
What are the most common drivetrain parts that need replacement on Sterling A-Series trucks?
Based on customer feedback and service records, the most frequently replaced drivetrain components include U-joints (especially on trucks with over 500,000 miles), carrier bearings, driveshaft center support bearings, clutch components for manual transmissions, and differential seals. We stock complete rebuild kits for these high-wear items, which can save you 15-25% compared to buying parts individually.
Do I need special tools or professional installation for Sterling drivetrain parts?
Installation requirements vary significantly by component. Simple parts like U-joints and carrier bearings can typically be installed with basic shop tools and a press. However, transmission components, differentials, and complete driveshaft assemblies usually require specialized tools and alignment equipment. We provide detailed installation guides with each part, and our tech support team can advise whether DIY installation is feasible for your specific repair.
What warranty coverage do you offer on Sterling A-Series drivetrain parts?
All our Sterling drivetrain parts come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 12 months for wear items like U-joints to 3 years for major components like transmissions and differentials. Aftermarket parts typically carry 12-24 month warranties, while OEM parts may extend to 36 months. Labor coverage varies by manufacturer but is typically not included. We handle all warranty claims directly through our service department to expedite the process for our customers.
