Can Trailer Spindle be Bent Back In Place
Updated 07/16/2018 | Published 07/14/2018
Question:
I just bought this trailer and the spindle is bent, is there a way to re bend it? Or should I just buy a new axle? What’s a good axle to put on my trailer. It’s a 4x8 trailer with no brakes

Expert Reply:
If a spindle is bent you cannot bend it back in place. Replacing the axle would be the best route.
You are going to need to measure your current axles in a few places to get the correct one as we don't have access to what your numbers reference.
You will need to measure from hub face to hub face and then from the spring seat centers. You will also need to know what bolt pattern you have on your current hubs. I attached a help article on how to determine this as well.
I also attached a link to a page with all of the axles we carry.
