Default Visa/Vista Axle Failures

ScottRVB,

The axle on my trailer is a torsion axle. The rubber tubes inside of the axle frayed and allowed it to sag over 25 degrees. This resulted in contact with the wheel well. The bearings, hub and spindle were fine. I did have the cord separate on the tire on the affected side. Cause or effect?
I believe they replaced the torsion axles with leaf springs on newer trailers.
