About USA Industries

USA Industries is a distributor of remanufactured and new replacement parts for the drivetrain, charging, starting and braking systems of cars and light trucks. The company was founded in 1985 in Bay Shore, New York as a regional remanufacturer and grew into a distributor with warehousing and distribution centers across the United States. Its focus has long been on a handful of high-wear components: alternators, starters, CV axles and disc brake calipers.

Drivetrain Parts: CV Axles, Axle Shafts and Drive Shafts

Constant velocity (CV) axles carry engine torque to the wheels on front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive vehicles while flexing with steering and suspension travel. Over time, torn boots let grease escape and dirt enter, leading to clicking noises on turns and eventually joint failure. USA Industries offers CV joints and complete axle shaft assemblies, such as the AX-11669 CV joint and the 251-501-203 and 31-60-7-574-871 axle shaft assemblies. The range also includes drive shafts like the 109159, which transfer power along the length of rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles.

When replacing an axle, matching the part to your exact year, make, model, engine, and drivetrain configuration matters. Details such as spline count, shaft length and ABS tone-ring compatibility vary between applications, so always confirm fitment before ordering.

Charging and Starting: Alternators and Starter Motors

The alternator keeps the battery charged and powers the electrical system while the engine runs, and the starter motor cranks the engine to life. Symptoms of a failing alternator include dim headlights, a battery warning light and repeated dead batteries. A weak starter often shows up as slow cranking, a single click or intermittent no-start. USA Industries supplies units such as the A3054 alternator and the 6675 starter motor, and remanufactured units can be a practical way to restore original-equipment fitment. Before replacing either part, it is wise to test the battery and check cable connections, since a poor battery can mimic both failures.

Braking: Disc Brake Calipers

Brake calipers clamp the pads against the rotor to slow the vehicle. Sticking slides or seized pistons can cause uneven pad wear, pulling to one side, and excess heat. The FR3104 front brake caliper is one example of the brand's offerings. Replacing pads and rotors at the same time as a caliper helps restore even, predictable braking.

What to Consider When Shopping

• Confirm fitment by vehicle year, make, model, engine and drive type.
• Choose between remanufactured and new parts based on your application and preference.
• Inspect related wear items, such as axle boots, belts, brake hoses and battery cables, while the job is open.
• Match the part number to your existing component before installation.

For DIY mechanics and repair shops alike, USA Industries provides a focused selection of everyday replacement parts for keeping vehicles on the road.
