    Ranger Trailer torsion axle

    I believe I need to replace the axle on my single axle Ranger trailer ad one side the tire is rubbing the inside of fender when hitting bumps. Anybody have an idea what thus might cost? Total for parts and labor, just wanting to get a idea.

    My buddy just replaced his complete TDE axle assembly on his 06, I wanna say he spent around $2k from Ranger. This was about 2 months ago.

    `You might just need to move the Torsion Arm one or two teeth downward. Unless the rubber in the axle has worn out, you wouldn't need to replace the whole axle.

    Trailing arm is sealed on axle, no way to adjust it.

    Have you looked here for parts.?

    It’s a good place to see your parts and then it’s easier to get good info on replacement shops that will help you.

    My buddy is on his 3rd TDE axle for his 06 178vs trailer. All three have had the axle beam break inside, and start rubbing on the fender.
