Hey all,
Yesterday I was driving home from the lake, when I heard a thump hit my truck when I was stopping. Car next to me told me they saw my tire come off and hit my truck haha. I was extremely lucky to 1. Be only 2 miles from home and 2. No longer on the expressway. 3. Not hurt or damage anyone elses car. I was able to limp home on the 3 remaining tires.
I was surprised since I didn't notice it sounding strange or driving strange but obviously it was not in a good shape! This boat/trailer is new to me, only bought it 2 weeks ago. But it was all well greased and taken care of previously.
The spindle treads seem beat up, what is the best option to fix? Should I remove the axle and take it to a shop? Should I just buy a new axle all together? They are the offset drop spindles I think, which I'm not sure how easy it is to find those kind of axles.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!!
