    EZ Loader Axle Problems

    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.

    Re: EZ Loader Axle Problems (ewallstate)

    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 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.

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

    Re: EZ Loader Axle Problems (ZXskeeterB)

    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.
