    Axle replacement

    replaced the axle on my trailer with same kind, now I'm getting camber. Anyone know the cause? Should I replace leaf springs and hangers as well?

    If it's a torsion axle, I've followed some of these down the road and the camber changes look alarming. Obviously with leaf springs it isn't a torsion axle. Which camber? The axle determines the angle of camber, some have a top and bottom, the top has to go up, because some have a bend to add positive camber to support the weight better.

    Most axles are built with + camber, maybe you have the axle in upside down giving you - camber which will get worse with weight on it. Dont waste time or money replacing springs and shackles, it will do nothing.
