I purchased a boat and trailer that has the rubber torsion axle trailer. Had new tires on it and made a run to Lake Falcon and back, about 1000 miles and the insides of both tires were worn badly. I know on the leaf spring type you could bend the axle to correct this but it doesn't appear this is an option with this type axle. Anybody had any experience with these axles or know where I might find someone with this information? Thanks for any help. Ray

Sorry it took so long to get back, had a computer crash! I took the trailer to a repair shop and they told me that the torsion system could not be repaired that it would have to be replaced. Forgot to mention in my earlier message that this is a used trailer. He said they were not designed to be repaired and that the only option when they wear out is to replace. Seems a little extreme, can't believe they would produce something that couldn't be repaired. Hope that Stick steering and gary20i don't run into the same problem if they keep their trailer long enough!
