Hmm... thats what i kind of thought, but your answer is in direct contradiction to "Scrungebob"'s above.
So, what's my best option?
Trailer is one of these sort of things -
...but,
a) not ifor williams, but probably an ex-council plant trailer
b) much more rusty (chasis is fine, sides have a few small holes, no base at all)
c) needs a new jocky wheel
Im thinking that -
£260 for the suspension units
£50 for a decent ply base
£25 for a jocky wheel
£15 for some paint
...what's that - £350?
Do i really want to spend £350, or should i scrap it and buy another - either another disposable, or double my money and get a decent unit. As i say, it cost me £80 a few years back.
I could chop the units about, as per this thread, but i want decent loading, an im loath to put in a load of effort, and fit a new base, just to find theyre as bad as they were before.
A pouring urethane rubber for cast bushes is what occurred to me. Never used it, but seen it online somewhere a couple of years ago.Fill the tube with Sikaflex and shove the axle back in, weld the end then leave it to set I don't think they are supposed to be user serviceable items and once they have reached their finite lifespan you replace the whole thing. I wouldn't trust a trailer full of rubble not to break them again.
No.
The braked ones will have a fixed flange whilst the unbraked ones will just have a stub.
I dont understand that I'm sorryMy suspension maker doesn't used frozen brittle/fragile rubber as liquid nitrogen makes rubber molecules go hard and forget there me worry or previous shape.
