Price on a trailer axle

Bayou,the reason why i think they fear welding is that there is a awfull lot off welding that needs to be done to the axle itself.
Most axles nowadays are tubes.
Get to much heat in the wrong places and that axle will break in time.
So your choice is between spending a lot on a new axle and welding the old axle with the risk off it breaking in time.
And that choice is yours.(not a easy choice)
All i will add is that i have seen axles break,allways at a weld.

A 3° option might be to call a few truckjunkyards,maybe they have a similiar axle.

 

Buy a new trailer ..... With all your $$$$$. LOL

 

Well I ended up just buying a new axle they said just over two weeks to get in in. Today they called and said my trailer was ready to go....does anyone see a problem?



Looks like they shorted you a couple/few inches.....unless of course its hanging out on the other side.......either way not good

 

No problem here. Other than perhaps a 96" axle on a 102" traler.

 

Who bought the axle?
You or the repairshop?

 

So are they going to fix it right...... Or are you still battling ..?
