[quote=Dogboy]If it's an old trailer, you should also check the U-bolts for the trailer crossbars and for the axle to the springs. Also check the U-bolt plates. I re-built one of our old trailers last year (it is at least 30 years old) and the u-bolt plates for the axle were rusted at least half through in some areas.
Check the axle itself too. If it's a tube axle, they have a tendency to hold water and then rust at the spindle welds which could lead to the entire wheel/hub assembly coming off. Best to give everything a real thorough inspection.
