I spoke with a couple places that sell and fabricate axles they couldn't help me. I am hoping that someone out there has a trailer that will work or I can salvage axles off of. I am looking for EZ Loader torsion axles that are 89" between hub faces. the easiest way to measure is from the center of the tires across the frame. here's hoping I can get my boat back on the water this season.Bubba, I feel your pain. I had a similar experience last fall with the torsion axle on my duck boat trailer - blew a bearing and took out the spindle. I had to wait 2 months for the replacement axle and my duck season ended in mid-November. I looked for a shop that could replace the spindle; doesn't exist in Utah that I could find. I just bit the bullet and ordered the new axle from TJ Trailer in Ogden ($480). Got it in January and will install it in September. Finding a used torsion axle of the correct dimension’s will be akin to finding the needle in a haystack; good luck. And without firsthand knowledge of how the used axle was maintained makes buying one a crap shoot; I wouldn't recommend it. But it's your money and your choice. Best of luck in your quest.
