Thread: Help with a trailer repair

    Have done this to a few box trailers.
    Firslty most box trailers have pathetically weak axle tubes, I would strongly recommend getting a HD (square) axle with the correct end to to run Ford hubs (which is what you need)
    Also be aware you will probably need more width - ie a new axle also makes sense. Be sure to calculate tyre size/ rim width/BS/offset and trailer size to get the idea axle width.
    The you will most likely need more clearance - so a SOA is best done at the same time as fitting the new axle.
    Lastly depending on the tyres - you'll probably need a little extra tyre coverage - oh yeah and if you need a blue slip you'll need longer mudflaps.....something just to keep in mind.

    I've had good success with parts sourced from Carrasel at Pendle Hill

    Ok thanks everyone going to measure and check axle and price a new one pre made . I will prob only run standard road tyres due to it not really being for offroad just to get stuff to and from camp (caravan parks and similar) kirst still isn't to keen on staying out in the bush
