I would like to know who all has had axle problems with their EZ Loader Trailer. I have known several people personally that have and I would like to know who else has.
I had both of them replaced last summer when the trailer was only 2 years old. Took 3 weeks for them to get in so I wasn't in any way happy.
My 2007 front axle just failed this May. Bought a replacement from Dennis at UFP and did the install. It was a pretty simple install once we got the arm off the axle. Only took 2 weeks +/- to get the new axle. The axles are not sitting on a shelf they have to create most of it.
Dennis is on the trailer board. Great guy and knows his stuff.

I had 2 axles go bad. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif
I had one that kept leaking oil/grease. My dealer finally changed it out and no probs since. Wish Skeeter would do like Ranger and build their own trailers. But, a friend blew a bearing on his new Ranger trailer recently.
Just replaced them both this year (one went bad and they said the other would be right behind) 2007 ZX

It doesnt matter who builds the trailer, they all use the same components (couplers, brakes, axles ect) from UFP.

Correct! I have had the same issues with every trailer, New Ranger Trail included.
I can't remember if it was the axle that went bad, but after only 3 months the rear end of my trailer collasped. Like it was a suspension issue. I seem to remember the dealer replacing the axle.
