If it has a swing arm running from the tube to the wheel it is a torsion axle.

You need to upload your photo to a hosting site like Photobucket.com. Then paste the link to that picture here.

I think the axle is called a "Torsion Axle". There are no leaf spring on the trailer but the axle with the hud acts as the spring. google 'torsion axle' and you would get a load of info on this.

I have never really seen one like that before. It look like a similar setup to Timbren's. However, Timbrens are not setup to be the primary suspension. I could not see the pics with the locknuts, so I can't help you there
