Guys this is why you work on your car trailer

My trailer “fun” from a few years ago…..
we’d been having tire wear issues on the rear axle. Took the trailer to a repair facility where I made the call to replace the axle. It was at this time they upsold me the Dexter EZ flex equalizer kit. Looked good….. all moving parts have serviceable grease zirks. Long story short the part number they sold me was for a 30” axle spread….. my trailer is a 33”. Took a couple years for the damage but once it occurred I spent a ton of time researching before I came up with what I believe was the issue. Rear shackle on the left side was cracked also. Of course due to the time the shop that did the work wouldn’t do anything for me. I ordered the correct center section for my 33” spread and beefed up all the hangers. Those long hangers had always bothered me. Three years and all good so far.

I remember this well but I didn’t want to rehash bad memories of you doing that job in severe heat.
