We do offer nylon bushings for trailer leaf springs as separate replacement parts. For example, we have part # SP05-080 from Redline, which is a set of four (4) two-piece nylon bushings. These measure 9/16-inch inner diameter, 1-5/16-inch outer diameter and 2-inches in length. Other sizes are also offered and these are linked below.

A Nylon Bushing #TRBU11561 is not required to be used on the open end of the 4-Leaf Slipper Spring #e33SR. Since the bushing is not going to be fully encased it stands that under the weight of the trailer it will fail and break apart more easily. I…

The center hole for equalizer #TREQ1304 is 7/8 inches in diameter. The closest match we have to a bushing that will reduce that is #TRBU11568 which has a 7/8 inch outer diameter and 9/16 inch inner diameter. But it is 1-3/4 inches long so it will…

We don't offer a equalizer kit that incorporates the #TREQ458 you're needing, but you can obtain the necessary parts separately. We offer a 3/4 inch wet equalizer bolt as part #126A1. 9/16 bushings with a OD of 11/16 is part #TRBU11566. If…

Thanks for the picture! I have something close to your 26" slipper springs. It is possible to switch to a two eye leaf spring or even go down to a four leaf spring with a higher capacity. If you wanted to switch it up to a two eye leaf spring I…

Since you found low voltage when testing the right side signal light pin on the vehicle connector, you have at least isolated the issue to the truck. If all the wires appear to be in good condition, then the issue is likely either a weak ground like…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 8

I have attached a chart you can check out that describes the torque needed per wheel size, wheel stud size and material. For an 8-inch wheel with a 1/2-inch wheel stud the torque is 75 to 86 ft-lbs. For a 15 inch steel wheel with 1/2 inch wheel studs…

Answer 9

Since your truck's 7-way wiring is factory-installed there could simply be a bad fuse causing your right turn signal not to function. Check the power distribution box for any fuse/relay positions labeled trailer or tow and confirm the fuse/relay…

Answer 10

First, disconnect the trailer from the tow vehicle so you can check the vehicle side connector. Using a circuit tester like part #PTW2993, test the functions of the connector; specifically check the right turn/brake, to make sure the signal is making…

Answer 11

I spoke with our resident tire and wheel expert and he said that for wheel bolts you will just follow the same torque specs as you would for a lug nut of the same size. Take a look at the chart I have included with lug nut torque specs. Based on your…

Answer 12

90-95 ft lbs of torque is probably about right for your trailer rims. If you check out the lug nut torque chart that I attached you will see that nearly all of the torque specs are that and higher.
